Question

the letters that spell Mississippi are each written on separate tiles lying face down on a table. a tile is selected at random, the litter is recorded, and then the tile is placed face down on the table. then the process repeats. What is the theoretical of choosing a tile with the letter P?

Answer 1

Answer: The theoretical probability of choosing a tile with letter P =0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given word = MISSISSIPPI

Total number of letters in given the word = 11

Number of letter P in given word = 2

Let A be a event of choosing a tile with a letter P then

P(A) =Number of tiles with letter P / Total letters in given word

= 2 /11 = 0.18
