50% is the probability because in word mathematical... outt of all letters 5 letters are vowels..so almost 50 % chances

AdiSMind: the answer is 1/5

Assuming you mean cut up all the letter like

“M-a-t-h-e-m-a-t-i-c-a-l”


The word contains 11 letters

There are 5 vowels in this word, a-e-a-i-a


We can say the probability is 5/11, which is approximately 45,45%


AdiSMind: Thats wrog
AdiSMind: wrong
ps23031998: thank
AdiSMind: The answer is 1/5
ItzTacoTimee: It is not, let me explain.
AdiSMind: out of five picking a vowel means 1/5
ItzTacoTimee: the word contains 11 letter, of which 5 are vowels. All vowels in the English language are “a, e, i, o, u”. The vowels here are 2 a’s, 1 e and 1 i. Therefore there is an 5/11 proababilty of getting a vowel if the word is cut up in separate letters. 5/11 is 45,45%
AdiSMind: ok
nguyenminhduc1pcgpbz: there're 12 letter...
