Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 letters in the word "statistics".

Out of which, there are 3 s's and 3 t's.  

So, the question asks what's the probability to get a S or a T out of 10 letters.

Since the number of S's (3) and the number of T's equal 6, that means you have 6 chances out of 10 to pick an S or a T.

6/10 or if we simplify/reduce it... we get 3/5.
