Each of the letters of the word ALABAMA are 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 of NOT drawing an A?

Answer:

3/7

Explanation:

There are 7 letters in ALABAMA. And there are 4 A's in ALABAMA. So if you're trying to not get an A then you would subtract 4 from 7. Which you would get 3/7 of the letters in ALABAMA are not A.
