How many C's are there in total?

mrnood · Answer

There are 7 letters in total 

for the first draw there are 2 C in 7 letters

for the second draw there is 1 C in 6 letters (if he draws C the first time)

so multiply the 2 probabilities to get the answer

trantom · Answer

There is a 2/7 chance of drawing a C the first time (7 total possible outcomes (denominator), and 2 favored outcomes (numerator)), and if a C is drawn and not replaced, it leaves 6 letters, one of which is a C, which is a 1/6 chance, so you multiply 2/7 by 1/6 to get 2/42. Simplify and you get 1/21.

So D is the correct answer choice

all the information required for the poster to calculate this for herself was given above. People learn MORE by doing than by seeing - and there is no need to proceed through your explanation right to the end - it is better to explain the method and leave the working out to the poster
