Jennifer writes the letters M-O-N-T-A-N-A on cards and then places the cards in a hat. What is
the probability of picking an N?

Answer 1

Given:

Jennifer writes the letters M-O-N-T-A-N-A on cards.

To find:

The probability of picking an N.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of cards = 7

Total number of cards with letter N = 2

Now, the probability of picking an N is:

`\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of cards with letter N}}{\text{Total number of cards}}`

`\text{Probability}=(2)/(7)`

Therefore, the probability of picking an N is
`(2)/(7)`.
