Question

The card 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:

1) 2 /11 is the possibility of getting m

2) 4/11 is the possibility of vowel

3) 8/11 is the possibility of constant

4) 0 is the possibility

Answer 2

Answer:

A) There are 11 letters. So, C(11,1) = total 11 outcomes.

B) 2 M are there. So probability of getting a M is C(2,1)/11= 2/11

ii) no of vowels=4 so probability of getting a vowel is 4/11

iii) no of consonants= 7 so probability of getting a consonant is 7/11

iv) since there is no X. Probability of getting X= 0/11 =0
