QUICK ANSWER THIS ILL GIVE YOU 25 POINTS!!!

A computer randomly selects a letter from the alphabet.

How many different outcomes are in the sample space?
What is the probability the computer produces the first letter of your first name?

Answer 1

there is 26 outcomes and the chance of the letter being the letter in your first name is 1/26

Explanation:

Answer 2

1) 26 different outcomes are in the sample space.

2) 1 / 26 is the probability that the computer produces the first letter of your first name.

The sample space is the set of all the 26 alphabets in English language.

⇒ Sample space = {A,B,C,D...........,Y,Z}

⇒ 26 different outcomes.

2.

Here, the required outcome is getting the first letter of your first name.

Probability = No. of required outcomes / total no. of outcomes.

For example, The name Alex Davis has the first letter of the fist name as alphabet 'A'.

∴ Probability = 1 / 26

Similarly, for any first name there is going to be any one alphabet from the 26 alphabets, thus the probability to get the first letter will be always 1 / 26.
