Answer:

3/10 chance.

Explanation:

Since Theoretical Probability is number of favorable outcomes over number of total outcomes, You can see it here that there are two l's and one c. This means that you will have 3 chances to get the letter you want. There are also 10 different letters. This means that you have a 3/10 chance of getting an l or c.
