    Each of the letters in the word PLOTTING are on separate cards, face down on the table. If you pick a card at random, what is the probability that its letter will be T or G?

    PLOTTING has to 8 letters. It has 2 T'sand 1 G, so we have:
    P(T or G) = P(T) + P(G)
    P(T or G) = 2/8 + 1/8
    P(T or G) = 3/8
