Question

if one letter is chosen at random from the word RENAISSANCEwhat is the probability ofa-getting letter Rb-getting a letter Nc-getting a letter Ed-getting a vowele -getting a constantgetting a letter G

Answer 1

There are 11 letters in the word RENAISSANCE.
Hence, n (S) = 11
(i) There is one R letter in the given word.
So probability of getting a letter R = $\frac{1}{11}$
(ii) There are two N letter in the given word.
So probability of getting a letter N = $\frac{2}{11}$
(iii) There are two E letter in the given word.
So probability of getting a letter E = $\frac{2}{11}$
(iv) There are 5 vowels in the given word.
So probability of getting a vowel letter = $\frac{5}{11}$
(v) There are 6 consonants in the given word.
So probability of getting a consonant = $\frac{6}{11}$
(vi) There are no G letter.
So probability of getting G is 0.
