Question

A bag contains lettered tiles. the theoretical probability of choosing a vowel is 40%. the bag contains 78 consonants. how many tiles are in the bag?

Answer 1

The total number of ties present in the bag are 130.

What is probability?

Calculating or estimating how likely something is to occur is what probability is all about. The likelihood of an event occurring can be expressed using words like "certain," "impossible," or "probable."

Formula for probability is -

Probability(Event) = Favourable Outcomes/Total Outcomes

It P(E) is the probability for occurring any event.

'x' be the favourable outcome.

'n' be the total outcome.

Then,

P(E) = x/n.

Calculation for the total tiles present the bag.

The probability of choosing a vowel is 40% = 0.4.

Then, the probability of choosing a consonants will be 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 or 60%.

Let P(E) be the probability of the occurrence of the consonants.

Then,

P(E) = total number of consonants/total tiles in the bag.

Let 'T' be the total tiles in the bag.

0.6 = 78/T

T = 78/0.6

T = 130

Therefore, the total tiles present in the bag are 130.
