The letters of the word MALAYALAM are written in paper slips and put into a box. A child is asked to take on slip from the box without looking. (a) What is the probability of getting the letter A? (b) What is the probability of not getting A?

Answer»

MALAYALAM

Total letters = 9

∴ n(s) = 9

No. of A occurs = 4

∴ n(E) = 4

(a) Probability of getting the letter A = Favourable events n(E)/Total everts n(S)

P(E) =4/9

(b) Probability of not getting A = 1 – P(E)

= 1 -4/9

= 5/9
