what is the answer to this

in scrabble, 2 of the 100 tiles are blank find the probability of drawing a blank tile from an entire set of scrabble tiles

instructions

find each probability. write your answer as a fraction, as a decimal, and as a precent thank you ashley

2/100 = 1/50 as a fraction

0.02 as a decimal

2% as a percent

Now watch out for the next problem (I am guessing what the next problem in the book might be), the probability of drawing BOTH in two draws is not just (2/100)*(2/100)
that is because once you draw out one of them, there is now one (not 2) left out of 99, not 100
(2/100)(1/99)

To find the probability of drawing a blank tile from an entire set of Scrabble tiles, we need to determine the total number of possible tiles and the number of blank tiles.

In Scrabble, there are 100 tiles in total. Out of these, 2 tiles are blank.

To find the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes (drawing a blank tile) by the number of possible outcomes (drawing any tile).

Number of favorable outcomes = 2 (blank tiles)
Number of possible outcomes = 100 (total tiles)

So, the probability of drawing a blank tile can be calculated as:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes = 2/100 = 1/50

To express this probability as a fraction, it is already in its simplest form: 1/50.

As a decimal, 1/50 is equal to 0.02.

To express the probability as a percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100:

Percentage = 0.02 * 100 = 2%

Therefore, the probability of drawing a blank tile from an entire set of Scrabble tiles is 1/50 or 0.02 or 2%.
