Question

There are 26 cards in a hat, each of them containing a different letter of the alphabet. If one card is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is not between the letters L and P, inclusive

Answer 1

Answer:

0.81

Step-by-step explanation:

The letters between L and P are M,N,O.

It is inclusive, so we have 5 letters L,M,N,O,P.

The letters which we can choose we have 26-5=21.

The probability to choose a letter not between L and P is 21/26=0.81

The solution is 0.81, ie,

You have 81% chance to choose latter not between L and P.
