A letter is selected from the letters of the English alphabet. What is the probability that the letter selected is from the word MATHEMATICS?
A
\(\frac{9}{13}\)
B
\(\frac{11}{26}\)
C
\(\frac{4}{13}\)
D
\(\frac{1}{26}\)
correct option: c
Two word mathematics is first rewritten as mathematics, since every letter of mathematics appears once in the english alphabet.
Hence the probability that letter selected is from the word mathematics is prob. (matheics) = \(\frac{8}{26}\)
= \(\frac{4}{13}\)
Hence the probability that letter selected is from the word mathematics is prob. (matheics) = \(\frac{8}{26}\)
= \(\frac{4}{13}\)
