Sam has a bag of 11 tiles representing each letter in the word MATHEMATICS and another bag containing 15 tiles numbered 1 through 15. If Sam draws 1 tile from each bag at random, find P(letter M or T, number less than 10)? Give answers as a reduced fraction OR a decimal rounded to thousandths place.

Given the number of tiles in each bag, the probability that Sam picks P(letter M or T, number less than 10) is 21.8%.

What is the probability that Sam picks these tiles?

The total number of letters in the word MATHEMATICS that are either letter M or T are 4 in number.

M= 2

T = 2

The probability of picking an M or T is therefore:

= 4/11

The number of numbers that are less than 10 from 1 to 15 are 9 so the probability of picking numbers less than 10 is:
= 9/15

P(letter M or T, number less than 10) would therefore be:

= 4/11 x 9/15

= 0.218

= 21.8%
