Question 420416: Hi there. I am having a little difficulty figuring out probability. I think I may know the answer, but here is the question:
Each individual letter of the word "Tennessee" is placed on a piece of paper and all 9 pieces of paper are placed in a hat. If one letter is selected at random from the hat, determine the probability that:
the letter T or N is selected.
Would this answer just be as simple as saying 3 out of 9?
Thank you so much for your help!!!

yes...
here only one T and two N,
so probability = 3/9
