A study conducted on 40,000 words in the English language found that about 6,670 words started with the letter T, which is the most common letter to start a word. If we randomly pick 20 unique words, which of these lists of words will come closest to the theoretical probability of getting a word beginning with T?

A.
to, sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, than, the, offspring, open, any, primary, loyalty, table, turn, whom, example, top, mention, that

B.
to, sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, than, the, offspring, open, any, primary, loyalty, table, out, whom, example, who, mention, say

C.
escape, sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, sin, valley, offspring, open, any, primary, loyalty, table, gall, whom, example, who, mention, say

D.
to, sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, than, the, offspring, open, tartar, primary, loyalty, table, turn, whom, example, toss, top, say

E.
odor, sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, than, the, offspring, open, any, primary, loyalty, rude, kind, whom, example, who, mention, say

C.

escape, sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, sin, valley, offspring, open, any, primary, loyalty, table, gall, whom, example, who, mention, say

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability of a word starting with T is 1/26 because there are 26 alphabets

1/26 × 20 = 0.7692307692

There should be none or only one word starting with T.

In option C, there's only one word starting with T (table) so that's the answer

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
