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 number of letters

There are 26 letters in the alphabet.

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability of choosing 'A' as the first - letter is the number of favorable outcomes (1, since there is 1 'A') divided by the number of total outcomes (26). So the probability $P=\frac{1}{26}\approx0.0385$.

Answer:

0.0385
