Question

Two unique letters are chosen at random from the alphabet. What is the approximate probability that the first letter chosen is a? 0. 0385 0. 0400 0. 0769 0. 800.

Answer 1

Option A :- 0. 0385

Explanation:

Since a is the first letter in the alphabet

and in total there are 26 alphabet

We divide 1 by 26

⇢ 1 ÷ 26

⇢ 0.038461538461538

⇢ 0. 0385

Probability = 0. 0385

~Done~

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\bf\:0. 0385}`

Explanation:

Told number of alphabets in the English language

= {A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z}

= 26 alphabets.

Out of all these 26 alphabets, we need to find the probability that the letter chosen at random will be 'A'.

Probability that the letter chosen at random is 'A'

= Alphabet 'A' / Total number of letters

= 1/26

= 0.0385
