If a day of the week is randomly selected, what's the probability that the day contains the letter "a" in its name?

Round your answer to four decimal places (if necessary).

Answer:

There would be a 100% chance.

Explanation:

All the days of the week end with -day. The word day has an 'a' in it.

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Therefore, it will be certain that you will pick a day that has an 'a' in it's name.

Hope this helps!
