You mix the letters M, A, T, H, E, M, A, T, I, C, A, and L thoroughly. Without looking, you draw one letter. Find the probability
write:
Faction in simplest form
Decimal
Percentage
Learned the rest but this o.o ty
Fraction: M is 1/6. A is 1/4. T is 1/6. H is 1/12. E is 1/12. I is 1/12. C is 1/12. L is 1/12.
Decimal: Both M and T are 0.166667, A is 0.25, and H,E,I,C,and L are all 0.083333
Percentage: M is 16.6%. T is 16.6%. A is 25%, H is 8.3 %. E is 8.3%. I is 8.3%. C is 8.3%. L is 8.3%
Thank you all so much
To find the decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
The probability of drawing an m is 2/12 = 1/6 = 0.166667
You're welcome.
To find the probability, we need to determine the number of desired outcomes (drawing a specific letter) and the total number of possible outcomes.
1. Number of desired outcomes:
In this case, we have only one desired outcome, which is drawing any of the 12 given letters.
2. Total number of possible outcomes:
Since we are drawing one letter from the 12 given letters in total, the number of possible outcomes is 12.
Now we can proceed to find the probability in different forms:
1. Fraction:
The probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. Hence, the fraction is:
Probability = Number of desired outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
= 1 / 12
The fraction 1/12 is already in its simplest form.
2. Decimal:
To express the fraction as a decimal, divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (12):
1 / 12 ≈ 0.0833
3. Percentage:
To convert the decimal to a percentage, multiply it by 100:
0.0833 * 100 = 8.33%
Therefore, the probability can be expressed as:
- Fraction: 1/12
- Decimal: 0.0833
- Percentage: 8.33%
