Combined Probability

ancapallliath · 2015-09-15 14:14:57

hi, can anyone tell me if this probability is a possibility or are there too many external factors? There are 26 letters in the alphabet. If you add A to each other letter, 75% of the times this is > 5. If you add Z to each other letter, 50% of the times this is > 5. what is the probability of A + Z being > 5? is this too…

hi,

There are 26 letters in the alphabet.
If you add A to each other letter, 75% of the times this is > 5.
If you add Z to each other letter, 50% of the times this is > 5.

what is the probability of A + Z being > 5?

is this too vague or is it impossible to determine as we do not have a result of all other factors and they each are dependent on 24 other unknown factors?

Thanks.
