Question

Each of the letters of the word MISSISSIPPI are written on separate pieces of paper that are then folded, put in a hat, and mixed thoroughly. One piece of paper is chosen (without looking) from the hat. What is the probability it is an I? ( A ) 25 ( B ) 411 ( C ) 13 ( D ) 14

Answer 1

$|\Omega|=11\\|A|=4\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{4}{11}$

Answer 2

The probability it is an I is: $\frac{4}{11}$

Solution:

The probability of an event is given as:

$Probability = \frac{\text{ number of favorable outcomes }}{\text{ total number of possible outcomes }}$

Each of the letters of the word MISSISSIPPI are written on separate pieces of paper that are then folded, put in a hat, and mixed thoroughly

MISSISSIPPI = 11 words

Therefore,

Total number of possible outcomes = 11

Favorable outcome = letter "I" = 4

Therefore,

$Probability = \frac{4}{11}$

Thus probability is found
