Question

Are the two outcomes listed are equally likely to occur. Give a reason for your answer.

Selecting the letter a or k from the word "TAKE"

Your answer:

Answer 1

Yes. When looking at the word "TAKE" you can see that there are four letters. The probability of selecting the letter 'a' would be 1/4. The probability of selecting the letter 'k' would also be 1/4. This is because they are 1 out of 4 of the letters making up the word "TAKE". So, the outcomes are equally likely to occur.

Hope this helped.
