3. The letters of the word "PROBABILITY" are placed in a bag and one letter is taken out.
i There are ___________________ outcomes.
ii What is the probability of the following being the one taken our ?
a P(P) = _______ b P(R) = _______ c P(B) = _______
d P(I) = _______ e P(vowels) = _______ f P(Consonants) = _______
Dear Student,
(i) The outcomes are P,R,O,B,A,I,L,T,Y,i.e 9 outcomes
(ii)Total letters present in the bag are 11.
(i) The outcomes are P,R,O,B,A,I,L,T,Y,i.e 9 outcomes
(ii)Total letters present in the bag are 11.
- P(A) = (Total outcomes is 11 in the formula because there are 2 B's and 2 I's
- P(R)=
- P(B)=
- P(I)=
- P(Vowels)= (Since there is 1 A, 1 O and 2 I's)
- P(consonants)= (SInce there are 7 consonants)
