Question

problem 3noah will select a letter at random from the word \flute\. lin will select a letter at random from the word \clarinet\.which person is more likely to pick the letter \e?\

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Noah's probability

Count total letters in "FLUTE": 5. Count "E": 1.
Probability: $\frac{1}{5} = 0.2$

Step2: Calculate Lin's probability

Count total letters in "CLARINET": 8. Count "E": 1.
Probability: $\frac{1}{8} = 0.125$

Step3: Compare the two probabilities

$0.2 > 0.125$, so Noah's probability is higher.

Answer:

Noah is more likely to pick the letter "E".
