the game of scrabble has 100 tiles the diagram shows the number of tiles for each letter and the letters point value. One tile is drawn from scrabble 100 tiles. Find the probability of selecting one of the letters to spell BUT
To find the probability of selecting one of the letters to spell BUT, we need to determine the number of tiles for each letter in the word BUT.
The word BUT has 3 letters: B, U, and T.
From the diagram, we see that:
- There are 2 tiles with the letter B.
- There are 2 tiles with the letter U.
- There are 2 tiles with the letter T.
Since each tile is unique, the total number of tiles for these letters is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6.
Therefore, the probability of selecting one of these tiles to spell BUT is 6/100, which can be simplified to 3/50.
