Each letter of the word “Mathematical” is written on a separate piece of paper and put into a bag. You are asked to pick a random letter from that bag without looking. What is the probability that you pick a vowel?

Answer 1

I’m assuming that you’re asking, that if we have a bowl with the letters m-a-t-h-e-m-a-t-i-c-a-l, what is the probability we will draw a vowel. We can first count that there is 11 letters. We then see that there are 5 vowels, a-e-a-i.

We can say 5/11 which is approximately 45,45%. So the probability of getting a vowel is 45.45%
