Question

two unique letters are chosen at random from the alphabet. what is the approximate probability that the first letter chosen is a? 0.0385 0.0400 0.0769 0.0800

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total letters

The English alphabet has 26 letters.

Step2: Determine favorable outcomes

We want the first letter to be A, so there's 1 favorable outcome (A) for the first choice.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes = \( \frac{1}{26} \approx 0.0385 \)

Answer:

0.0385
