Question

2. Each letter from the word "MASSACHUSSETT " is written on a separate 20 points

Answer 1

Answer: 4 out of 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Total letters in "MASSACHUSSETT " = 13

Number of S = 4

Probability of an event = $\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}$

The probability of selecting the  letter S = $\dfrac4{13}$  [already in lowest term as gcd(4,13)=1]

Hence, the probability of selecting the  letter S = 4 out of 13.
