Question

Solve the following problems and write the correct answer: Ear Darenz is asked to choose a day from a week. What is the probability of choosing a day which starts with S? Choosing a month from a year, what is the probability of selecting a month with 31 days? If a letter is chosen at random from the word PERSEVERANCE, what is the probability that the letter chosen is E?

Answer 1

1. 2/7 or 28.6%

2. 7/12 or 58.3%

3. 4/11 or 36.4%

Explanation:

1. There are 2 days in the week that start with S. With 7 days in a week. this makes it so that 2 out of 7 days are S. Divide 2 by 7 to get the probability percentage of 28.57 and round to the nearest tenth.

2. There are 7 months that have 31 days. In one year there are 12 months. This makes the percentage equal to 58.33, round to nearest tenth.

3. There are 11 letters in PERSEVERANCE with 4 of them being E. Therefore, the precentage is 4/11 or 36.36%, round tto the nearest nearest tenth.

Hope this helps!!
