1/3

To determine the probability of choosing the letters P or N from the word "HAPPINESS," we first need to identify the total number of letters and then count how many of those are either P or N.

The word "HAPPINESS" has a total of 9 letters:

- H

- A

- P

- P

- I

- N

- E

- S

- S

Next, we count the occurrences of the letters P and N:

- There are 2 occurrences of the letter P.

- There is 1 occurrence of the letter N.

Now, we add these amounts together to find the total number of favorable outcomes (selecting either a P or N). This gives us 2 (for P) + 1 (for N) = 3 favorable outcomes.

The probability is then calculated as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of letters. So, we have:

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of letters) = 3 / 9 = 1 / 3.

This correctly simplifies to the probability of choosing a P or an N from "HAPPINESS." Thus, the probability of choosing a P or N is indeed 1
