Because we have seven days in a week the total possible outcomes are 7

The number of days that starting with "T" are two Tuesday and Thursday.

The Probability that Madison will clear her room on a day that starts with the letter T is


P(\text{Days starting with

Therefore

Total possible outcomes: 7

Number of days starting with ‘T’: 2

P (Days starting with ‘T’): 2/7
