A month of the year is chosen at random. What is the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter $$ \frac{5}{24} $$ $$ \frac{1}{6} $$ $$ \frac{1}{4} $$ $$ \frac{5}{12} $$

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To determine the probability that a randomly chosen month starts with the letter **J**, let's first identify all the months that begin with **J**:

1. **January**
2. **June**
3. **July**

There are **3** months that start with the letter **J** out of the **12** months in a year.

So, the probability $$ P $$ is calculated as:

$$
P = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}
$$

However, based on the answer choices provided:

- $$ \frac{5}{24} $$
- $$ \frac{1}{6} $$
- $$ \frac{1}{4} $$
- $$ \frac{5}{12} $$

The correct probability that a randomly chosen month starts with the letter **J** is:

$$
\boxed{\dfrac{1}{4}}
$$
The probability is $$ \frac{1}{4} $$.

A month of the year is chosen at random. What is the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter \( \frac{5}{24} \) \( \frac{1}{6} \) \( \frac{1}{4} \) \( \frac{5}{12} \)
