Question

Each of the letters of the word COLORADO are written on a piece of paper and then put into a bag. A piece of paper is drawn at random. What is the theoretical probability, as a decimal, of drawing an O? Round the decimal to the nearest hundredth. (also konrad thank you,you have been helping me out so much thank you)

Answer 1

There are 3 Os in the bag, and 8 letters in total.

Then, the probability of pulling a piece of paper with O on it is:

# of Os/total # of papers = 3/8 which is about 0.38 (rounded from 0.375).

Answer 2

0.375 is the answer because there are 3 0's in COLORADO and 8 letter's in total. The fraction part would be 3/8 and in decimals it is 0.375.
