Question

each of the letters of the word ALABAMA is written on a piece of paper and then put into a bag. A piece of paper is drawn at random. What is the theoretical probability, as a decimal, of drawing an A?

Answer 1

P(A) = 0.57 (to the nearest hundredth)

Explanation:

There are 7 letters in total

4 of them are the letter A

⇒ P(A) = 4/7

= 0.5714285714...

= 0.57 (to the nearest hundredth)
