Question

1. Each letter in PENNSYLVANIA is written on a separate piece of paper and put into a

bag. You randomly choose a piece of paper from the bag.
a. What is the probability that you choose an N?
b. What is the probability that you choose an A?
c. What is the probability that you choose an E?

Answer 1

a. There are three N's in PENNSYLVANIA. The probability of choosing an N can be calculated as follows:

Probability of choosing an N = (Number of N's in the word) / (Total number of letters in the word)

Probability of choosing an N = 3 / 12

Probability of choosing an N = 1 / 4

Therefore, the probability of choosing an N is 1/4.

b. There are two A's in PENNSYLVANIA. The probability of choosing an A can be calculated as follows:

Probability of choosing an A = (Number of A's in the word) / (Total number of letters in the word)

Probability of choosing an A = 2 / 12

Probability of choosing an A = 1 / 6

Therefore, the probability of choosing an A is 1/6.

c. There is only one E in PENNSYLVANIA. The probability of choosing an E can be calculated as follows:

Probability of choosing an E = (Number of E's in the word) / (Total number of letters in the word)

Probability of choosing an E = 1 / 12

Therefore, the probability of choosing an E is 1/12.
