Question

19. You write the letters of the word MATHEMATICS on pieces of paper and

place them in a bag. You randomly draw one letter, DO NOT REPLACE IT,
then randomly draw a second letter. What is the probability you'll pick the
letter A on the first draw and the letter C on the second draw? Write your
answer as a fraction.

Answer 1

Explanation:

P=2/11×1/10=1/55

Answer 2

2/11 and 1/10

Explanation:

The total number of letters is 11, and that explains the denominator. There are two chances of drawing an A, so that explains the first numerator. When one of them is drawn, the denominator changes to a 10. There is one (C) in the word MATHEMATICS, so there is a 1/10 chance that you'd draw it second.
