Question

Will fan + medal!

You mix the letters M, A, T, H, E, M, A, T, I, C, A, and L thoroughly. Without looking, you draw one letter. Find the probability P(A). Write the probability as:

a. a fraction in simplest form
b. a decimal
c. a percent

Answer 1

there are 12 letters in total, of which 3 are A's, so the probability of getting an A, P(A), is three on twelve: 3/12
that would be the fractional form.
you can get the other forms from that one :)
