Question
The letters written on paper slips of the word MEDIAN are put in a bag. If one slip is drawn randomly, what is the probability that it bears the letter D?
Advertisements
Solution
In the word ‘MEDIAN’, there is only one D.
So, Favourable outcomes = Number of letter D = 1
Total number of possible outcomes = 6
∴ Probability = `"Favourable outcomes"/"Total number of possible outcomes" = 1/6`
