To answer this problem,
first let us calculate for the theoretical probability obtained from the study
conducted:
Theoretical Probability
= 6,670 / 40,000
Theoretical Probability
= 0.16675 = 0.17
From the given choices,
the list of words which can give this similar amount of probability is:
“to,
sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, than, the, offspring, open, any,
primary, loyalty, table, out, whom, example, who, mention, say”
In this set of words,
the number of words starting with letter T is 4. Calculating for the
probability of getting a word starting with T in this set is:
Sample probability = 4 /
20
Sample probability =
0.20
