Question

Find the probability for choosing a letter at random from the word: Probability P(not P) A.) 1/11 B.) 2/11 C.) 5/11 D.) 10/11​

Answer 1

Answer:

D.) 10/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given word Probability has 11 letters in it. And we have to calculate the Probability of not selecting a letter P from the above word.

So the formula for calculating any probability is Total Favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes.

Here total number of outcomes are 11 as word Probability has 11 letters.

So the probability of selecting letter P from word Probability =  $\frac{1}{11}$

Now the P(not P) = 1 - P(selecting letter P)

                            = 1 - $\frac{1}{11}$ = $\frac{10}{11}$
