if the number of "THE" is 4 and "A" is 1 in a paragraph containing total 66 words than what is the probability of the "THE" in the paragraphand also what is the ratio of word "THE" and word "A" in the paragraph

Answer :

Given
Total numbers of  ' THE ' = 4
Total numbers of ' A ' = 1
Total words in paragraph   = 66 
We know probability = $\frac{Numbers of desired events}{Total numbers of events}$

SO probability to come of ' THE '  = $\frac{4}{66}$  = $\frac{2}{33}$                          ( Ans )

Ratio of  ' THE '  in paragraph= $\frac{4}{66}$  = $\frac{2}{33}$                         
Ratio of ' A '  = $\frac{1}{66}$                    

So,
ratio of The and A  = $\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{2}{33}}}{{\displaystyle \frac{1}{66}}}$

= $\frac{4}{1}$                 ( Ans )
