Sagot :

Answer:

1.  25%

2 and 3:  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  There are 4 letters in the box, all different.  The odds of randomly picking 1 letter is 1/4, or 25%  That is true for any of the letters.

Questions 2 and 3 technically cannot be answered.  In both cases, the selection process involves more than random chance.  The selection of a nurse depends on qualifications such as training and experience.  Winning the math quiz depends on knowledge and practice.  Neither question is a random selection.

If the questions were random, the answers would be:

2.  1/5 or 20% that Eunice gets picked, and

2.  6/10 or 60% that a girl wins
