Question

A letter is chosen at random from the letters of the word ‘ASSASSINATION’. Find the probability that the letter chosen is a consonant. a). 1/13 b). 7/13 c). 6/13 d). 2/13​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is optiona ( b ) 7/13

Answer 2

Answer:

b)  7/13 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a letter is chosen at random from the letters of the word ‘ASSASSINATION’ and we have to find the probability that the letter chosen is a consonant.

Number of total letters in the given word = 13

              n(Total outcomes) = 13

Number of consonant in the given word = S, S, S, S, N, T, N = 7

             n(Favorable outcomes) = 7

So, Probability of getting a consonant = n(Favorable outcomes) ÷  n(Total

                                                                                                             outcomes)

                                                               = $\frac{7}{13}$
