Question

Each of letters of the word PILOTS is on separate cards, face down on the table. If you pick a card at random, what is the probability that the letter will be a T or a L?

• A. $\frac{1}{6}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{1}{3}$

There are 6 outcomes out of which 2 are favourable(which are, getting T or L).
Probability of an event E, P(E) =$\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$
Required probability = $\frac{2}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$.
