2.)Jennifer writes the letters M-O-N-T-A-N-A on cards & then places the cards in a hat. What is the probability of picking an N?
A.)2/7
B.)3/7***
C.)1/3
D.)2/3
B?
Did you count 3 N's ??
I only see 2 of them
so prob = 2/7
To find the probability of picking an "N" from the letters M-O-N-T-A-N-A, we need to determine the total number of cards and the number of cards with an "N" on them.
First, let's count the number of cards in total. The word "M-O-N-T-A-N-A" consists of 7 letters, so there are 7 cards in total.
Next, let's count the number of cards with an "N" on them. We can see that there are two "N"s in the word "M-O-N-T-A-N-A".
So, out of the 7 cards in total, there are 2 cards with an "N" on them.
To find the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (2 cards with an "N") by the number of possible outcomes (7 cards in total).
Therefore, the probability of picking an "N" is 2/7.
Hence, the correct answer is option B, 3/7.
