Question

13. The cards bearing letters of the word “MATHEMATICS” are placed in a bag. A card is taken out from the bag without looking into the bag (at random).
(a) How many outcomes are possible when a letter is taken out of the bag at random?
(b) What is the probability of getting
(i) M? (ii) Any vowel? (iii) Any consonant? (iv) X?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 8 Outcomes are possible

b) Number of Letters = 11

i) Number of M = 2

Probability of getting M = 2/11

ii) Number of vowels = 4

Probability of getting a vowel = 4/11

iii) Number of consonant = 7

Probability of getting a consonant = 7/11

iv) Number of X = 0

Probability of getting X = 0
