In Problems 46, 48 & 50, each individual letter of the word TALLAHASSEE is placed on a piece of paper and all 11 pieces of paper are placed in a ha. If one letter is selected at random from the hat, determine the probability that

46.       The letter S is not selected.

48.       The letter T or E is selected.

50.       The letter V is not selected.

Solution

46.

P(S not selected) = 1 - P(S is selected) = 1 - 2/11 = 9/11

48.

P(T or E is selected) = (1+2)/11 = 3/11

50.

P(V not selected) = 1 - P(V selected) = 1 - 0/11 = 1
