Question

Suppose you randomly select a letter from BURGER AND STARBIRD. Imagine writing these letters on Ping- Pong balls—one letter per ball—then putting them all in a barrel and remov- ing one. What is the probability of pulling out an R?

Answer 1

There are 17 possible letters you can choose from and 3 of them are "r"s. So, the probability is 3/17.

Hope this helps!
