Question

(iv) 26 cards each bearing one English letter are kept in a box. One card is drawn at random. What is the probability that the card drawn is a vowel card?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let S be the sample space.

We are given that there are 26 cards in a cap bearing one English alphabet on each card.

∴ n(S) = 26

Let A be the event of drawing is a vowel card.

There are 5 vowels out of 26 English alphabets.

∴ n(A) = 5

`therefore P(A) = (n(A))/(n(S))`

`=5/26`

Hence, the probability that the card drawn is a vowel card is `=5/26`.
