Problem 114

ProblemĀ  114

If a single letter is drawn from the set {m, a, t, h, e, i, c, s} what is the probability that the letter drawn is a member of the set {m, a, t, h}?

 

Solution

 

The set of possible outcomes are ({m, a, t, h, e, I, c, s}) = 8

The set of favorable outcomes are ({m, a, t, h}) = 4

P(letter drawn is the member of the set {m, a, t, h}) = \frac{4}{8} =   \frac{1}{2}
