    Dane wrote the letters of “NEW YORK CITY” on cards and placed them in a hat. What is the probability that he will draw the letter “Y” out of the hat?

    New York City has 11 letters.

    Our probability of drawing a Y is denoted as P(Y):
    P(Y) = Number of Y's / Total Letters
    P(Y) = 2/11
