23. The letters of the alphabet are written on

cards and placed in a brown paper bag. What

is the probability of drawing a consonant,replacing it, and then drawing a Z?

Respuesta :

Answer:

21/676

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of letters of the alphabet will be the total outcome which is 26 alphabets.

If consonant numbers are drawn out, the probability of drawing a consonant will be total consonants/total alphabets

Total consonants in the alphabet is 21.

Probability of drawing consonants = 21/26.

Since all the consonants are replaced before drawing a Z, our total outcome will not change i.e it will still be 26.

Probability of drawing a letter Z will be 1/26.

Therefore, the probability of drawing a consonant,replacing it, and then drawing a Z will be;

21/26×1/26

= 21/676
