A mother decides to teach her son about a letter each day of the week. She will choose a letter from the name of the day. For example, on Saturday she might teach about the letter Sor the letter U, but not the letter M.

1. Who letters are possible to teach using this method? (There are 15.)

2. What are 4 letters that can't be taught using this method?

3. On TUESDAY, the mother writes the word on a piece of paper and cuts it up so that each letter is on a separate piece of paper. She mixes up the papers and picks one. What is the probability that she will choose the piece of paper with the letter Y? Explain your reasoning

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The days of the week include

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

a) So, the possible letters to be taught include

A, D, E, F, H, I, M, N, O, R, S, T, U, W, Y

There are indeed 15 possible letters.

These are the letters from which all the days of the week are formed from.

b) There are more than 4 letters that can't be taught using this method.

All the letters that cannot be taught using this method because no day of the week contains them include

B, C, G, J, K, L, P, Q, V, X, Z

c) In Tuesday, there are 7 distinct letters.

So, the sample space consist of 7 letters.

n(sample space) = 7

n(Y) = 1

Probability of picking a Y = (1/7)

The reasoning is simple, picking a Y on a Tuesday is one out of 7 possible outcomes, so, the probability of picking a Y on a Tuesday to teach the kid about = (1/7) = 0.143
