Option 1: 3/12 = 1/4 is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The word given is 'INDEPENDENT"
The sample space in this case will be all the alphabets
So,
n(S) = 12
The letter E occurs 3 times in the word so
n(E) = 3
The probability is defined as the likeliness of occurrence of an event
Mathematically,
[tex]P(Letter\ E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\\P(letter\ E) = \frac{3}{12} =\frac{1}{4}\\[/tex]
Hence,
Option 1: 3/12 = 1/4 is the correct answer
