Question

A month of the year is chosen at random. What is the probability that the month starts with the letter Jor the letter M?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 out of 12

5/12

January, March, May, June, July

There are three months whose name starts with the letter 'j': January, June, July

There are two months whose name starts with the letter 'm': March, May

So altogether, there are 5 months whose name starts with the letter 'j' or 'm'. So the possible outcome is 5 and total number of sample space is 12.

Therefore the required probability is: 5/12

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcomes = 12

Letter starting with M = 2 (march & May)

Letter starting with J = 3 ( January, June, July)

P(letter starting with M and J)=2/12+3/12=5/12
