Question

Each card bears one letter from the word ‘mathematics’ The cards are placed on a table upside down. Find the probability that a card drawn bears the letter ‘m’. Solve the word problem

Answer 1

Let s be sample space

S={M,A,T,H,E,M,A,T,I,C,S}

n(S)=11

let a be event of getting M

A={M,M}

P(A)=nA/nS

=2/11

Answer 2

Answer:

2 /11

Step-by-step explanation:

mathematics

m - Twice

a - twice

t  - twice

h - once

e - once

i  - once

c - once

s - once

Total cards = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1  + 1 = 11

probability that a card drawn bears the letter ‘m =  Number of cards having m letters/  total number of Cards

= 2 /11
