Question

While reading a news article, Bethany noticed that the word "senselessness" had a lot of repeating letters. Bethany wondered about the probabilities of randomly drawing certain letters if each letter in "senselessness" were written on an index card and put into a bag. Which letter would have the greatest probability of being selected? What would be the probability of that selection? Which letter would have the least probability of being selected? What would be the probability of that selection?

Answer 1

The letter 's' from the word 'senselessness' has the highest probability of selection at 5/12, while the letter 'l' has the lowest probability of 1/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which letter from the word 'senselessness' has the greatest and least probability of being selected from a bag, we first need to count how many times each letter appears in the word. 'Senselessness' consists of the letters: s, e, n, and l. The counts for each letter are as follows: s appears 5 times, e appears 4 times, n appears 2 times, and l appears 1 time. The total number of letters is 12. Therefore, the letter s has the greatest probability of being selected with a probability of 5/12, and the letter l has the least probability of being selected with a probability of 1/12.
