Question

A computer randomly selects a letter from the alphabet a how many different outcomes are in the sample space? b what is the probability the computer produces the first letter of your first name

Answer 1

1/26 chance

Explanation:

a) The sample space consists of all possible outcomes of the computer randomly selecting a letter from the alphabet. Since there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, the sample space would contain 26 different outcomes.

b) To determine the probability of the computer producing the first letter of your first name, we need to know the specific letter. Let's assume your first name starts with the letter 'X'.

Since there is only one letter 'X' in the alphabet, and the sample space contains 26 outcomes, the probability would be 1/26.
