Question 749898: A letter is chosen atrandom from each of the words MUSICAL and AMUSING. findthe probability that thesame letter is chosen from each word. Answer by timvanswearingen(106) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 7 choices for the first letter and 7 choices for the second. Using the fundamental counting principle, there are:
49 combinations of the two letters. The choices that would be the same are:
MM, UU, SS, II, AA
So there are 5/49 combinations that would result in the same letter.
