What is the probability of drawing a consonant from the letter of the word?
Suppose we pick two letters at random from the set A, B, C, D, E. What is the probability that both of them are vowels? Show There are different ways to think about this depending on our assumptions. Are we picking one letter and replacing it so we may pick the same letter both times, or are we picking both letters at the same time? If we are picking both letters at the same time do we care about the order in which we got the letters or do we not care about the order? Let's look at all three of those cases.
We have a bucket of 20 letters. These letters include A, B, C and are either red or blue. There are 4 red As, 6 blue As, 4 red Bs, 3 blue Bs, 1 red Cs and 2 blue Cs. In this case, we do not care about order when we are picking letters.
