Question

Each letter in the word "mathematics" is written on a slip of paper and placed in a box. Lynette chooses a letter from the box, leaves it out, then picks another letter. What's the probability that Lynette chooses 2 vowels? Simplify your answer.

Answer 1

3/7 and 1/7 =4/7is the right answer i just did it and put there answers in but all of them was wrong they said theses are the answers

Explanation:

Answer 2

There are 11 slips of paper in the box, and 4 of them have vowels on them.

Chance of picking a vowel the first time = 4/11 .

If successful, then there are 10 slips left in the box, and 3 of them are vowels.

Chance of picking a vowel the second time = 3/10 .

Probability of BOTH events = (4/11) x (3/10) = 12/110 = 10.91% .
