Question

Six tiles lettered C,O,O,K,I, and E are laying face down on a table. A tile is selected, the letter is recorded, and the tile is replaced, and the process is repeated. What is the theoretical probability of selecting the letter o?

Answer 1

The theoretical probability of selecting the letter "O" is
`(1)/(3)`.

Explanation:

Six tiles lettered C,O,O,K,I, and E are laying face down on a table.

A tile is selected, the letter is recorded, and the tile is replaced, and the process is repeated.

So, the theoretical probability of selecting the letter "O" is :
`(1)/(3)`

There are 2 O's in 6 possibilities.

So, p =
`(2)/(6) =(1)/(3)`

Answer 2

there are 2 o's and there are 6 tiles

2/6 or 1/3 is the theoretical probability of selecting o
