Answer:

the probability the octahedron will land on A is 3/8

the probability the octahedron will land on B is 1/8

the probability the octahedron will land on C is 4/8 or 1/2

Step by Step explanation:

All u have to do to figure this out is to first count the total amount of letters and in this case there are 8. To find the probability of a specific letter, you have to count how many of that letter there is in the total of 8. For example the letter A's probability is 3/8 since there are 3 A's and 8 letters in total.

hope this helps!!
