Question

The letters that spell MISSISSIPPI are each written on separate tiles lying facedown on a table. A tile

is selected at random, the letter is recorded, and then the tile is placed facedown on the table. Then
the process repeats.
What is the theoretical probability of choosing a tile with the letter P?
0 11
01/11

Answer 1

2/11

Explanation:

The total amount of tiles is 11. There are only 2 tiles that have the letter P on them.

Theoretical probability is the probability that should occur over many, many trials.

Theoretical probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes.

In this scenario, the favorable outcome is the letter P. which there are two of. The total outcomes would be all the letters that make up the word MISSISSIPPI, or 11.

So your theoretical probability would be 2/11.

Answer 2

Answer: 2/11

Step-by-step explanation: there are 11 letters and 2 of them are p so the chances of getting p is 2/11
