If Jeff picks one letter randomly from the alphabet, what is the probability that the letter is in the word 'probability'?
(A) $\frac{9}{26}$
(B) $\frac{15}{26}$
(C) $\frac{10}{26}$
(D) $\frac{17}{26}$
(E) $\frac{8}{26}$
Eliminating multiple occurrences of the same letter, the word 'PROBABILITY' uses 9 different letters of the alphabet, A, B, I, L, O, P, R, T, and Y.

Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, the probability that Jeff picks one of the 9 different letters in 'PROBABILITY' is $\frac{9}{26}$.

ANSWER: (A)
