Answer 5

How do you come up with that? I'm not sure that I follow. Which answer would that be?

Answer 6

well, when we "Exclude spaces and punctuation marks from your analysis"; and just count the total number of letters .... i broke it down into smaller peices that we can add up

Answer 7

Like, you don't have to teach me it haha sorry!

Answer 8

\[probability=\frac{number~of~success}{number~of~trials}\]
\[P(e)=\frac{18}{number~of~letters}\]

Answer 9

Oh, okay but I'm not sure how to add that all up or whatever it takes to get a percentage out of it. I'm taking a test on Statistics that I haven't learned.

Answer 10

if you havent learned it, then yes, you need to be taught the proper concepts .... we are not providing a free answering service here :/

Answer 11

Well, I'm not in a Statistics class, this test is for Algebra 2 but the school board is testing out this new system for people who haven't even taken real Statistic courses
