help with a math question..has to do with proportion and probability?

Question

Here is a chart you will need to use this:

LetterProbability A) A page contains 300 letters. Predict
E..............0.131 how many a's are on the page.
T..............0.104 B) An essay contains 1000 letters.How
A..............0.081 many z's would you predict are in the essay?
S..............0.061 how many x's?
X..............0.002 C) The 3 sentences in part (b) contain
Z............0.001 68 letters. Find the experimental probalbility
that a letter randomly chosen from these sentences is a t and the probability that it is an s. How do these probabilities compare with the probabilities given in the table?

PLEASE TRY TO ANSWER THEM ALL AND SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK!!!!!!!!!!!tHANKS SO MUCH!

Answer 1

A) If the probability of getting the letter A is .081 and you have 300 words on the page, multiply the probability of getting A by the total number of words.

(.081)(300) = 24.3 (I always round up since you rarely see partial letters.)

B) Same concept as above, use the probability for z and x, and use 1000 for the number of words.

C) Experimental Probability means you actually do the experiment. Go back to part b, count the number of letters, then count each T and S. Take the total number of Ts and divide by the total number of letters (do the same for S).

How close are the numbers you calculated to the numbers in your chart? Are they higher or lower, or nearly the same?

Answer 2

that almost seems to spell extacy

Answer 3

sorry, no, I'm drunk and stupid, at least fro now
