Question

E by 1

3. Mr. Bauer placed the letters in the word
BASKETBALL into a bag. What is the
probability of choosing the letter B, not
replacing it, and then choosing a vowel?

Answer 1

1/15 chance

Explanation:

BASKETBALL = 10 letters

taking out a B = 2/10 or 1/5

Then picking a vowel = 3/9 or 1/3

1/5 x 1/3 = 1/15 chance
