Question

The letters in the word JANUARY were put in a bag and drawn randomly. What is the probability of picking an a?

Answer 1

2/7

there are 7 letters in jAnuAry and as you can see there are 2 A's so there is a 2/7 chance which is higher of a chance than the rest of the letters which are 1/7 each so it is most likely you would draw A although I can't fully say that because there is a 5/7 chance of drawing the other letters. Another way to say it is there is a 0.28571428571% chance of drawing A but there is a 0.71428571428% chance of drawing any other letter.

Hope this helps :3

Have a good day!
