Question

Theoretical Probability - Guided Practice#1 - All of the letters in the word Mississippi are written on separate pieces of paper and putin a hat. Find the probability in drawing the letter s from the hat.O 34.6%O 38.4%O 36.4%0 45.5%

Answer 1

The probability = outcome/total outcomes

The total of the outcomes is the total number of the letters of the given word, then

The total outcomes = 11

The outcome is the number of letter "s" in the word

The outcome = 4, then

The probability of "s" is

$P(s)=\frac{4}{11}$

To change it to percent multiply it by 100% and round it to the nearest 1 decimal place

$\begin{gathered} P(s)=\frac{4}{11}\times100 \\ P(s)=36.4 \end{gathered}$

The answer is 36.4%
