Each inidividual letter of the word Tallahassee is placed on a piece of paper and all 11pieces of paper are placed in a hat, if one letter is selected at random from the hat, determine the probability that the letter T or F is selected.
In the word "Tallahassee", there is only one letter T out of 11 letters, so the probability of getting a T is 1/11.
There is no letter F in the word, so probability of getting an F is 0/11 or 0.
The probability of getting a letter T OR letter F is therefore
1/11 + 0 = 1/11
hope this helps~ `u`
To determine the probability of selecting the letter T or F from the hat, we need to first count the number of occurrences of these letters in the word "Tallahassee" and then divide it by the total number of letters in the word.
Step 1: Count occurrences of T or F
In the given word "Tallahassee," we have one occurrence of the letter T and no occurrence of the letter F.
Step 2: Count the total number of letters
The word "Tallahassee" has a total of 11 letters.
Step 3: Calculate the probability
To calculate the probability, we divide the count of desired outcomes (occurrences of T or F) by the total number of possible outcomes (total letters in the word).
Therefore, the probability of selecting the letter T or F is:
Number of desired outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
= 1 / 11
= 1/11
So, the probability of selecting the letter T or F is 1/11.
