The probability of an event happening is the number of ways that even can happen divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

Answer 8

I didnt understand what you just said mathstudent that was way over my head

Answer 9

Just divide 1/26

Answer 10

There are 26 letter, so the total number of possible outcomes is 26.
You are interested in only the event of drawing an A.
Then the probability is \(\dfrac{1}{26} \).

Leave the probability as a fraction.

As a percent, divide 1 by 26, and multiply by 100.
