Answer:

The probability of drawing O is;


P(O)=37.5\text{\%}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to calculate the theoretical probability of drawing the letter O from COLORADO.


P(O)=\frac{\text{Number of letter O}}{\text{Total Number of letters}}=(n(O))/(n(T))*100\text{\%}

From COLORADO;


\begin{gathered} n(O)=3 \\ n(T)=8 \end{gathered}

The probability of drawing O will be;


\begin{gathered} P(O)=(3)/(8)*100\text{\%} \\ P(O)=37.5\text{\%} \end{gathered}

The probability of drawing O is;


P(O)=37.5\text{\%}
