Answer 1

Given:

• A letter is chosen from the word ‘PROBABILITY’.

To Find:

• What is the probability that it will be a consonant?

Solution:

• Consonents are 6
• Vowels are 3
• Total,6+3=9

Let the probability of consonant be P(A)

$\sf P(A) = \frac{consonents}{total} \\ = \frac{ \cancel6 \: 2}{ \cancel9 \: 3} = \frac{2}{3} = 0.66$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed{ \sf P(A) = 0.66}$
