Question

Nandini picked a letter from the set of english alphabets and found it to be vowel what is the probability that it is a or u

Answer 1

We know that there are 26 alphabets in English, out of which 5 are vowels and 21 are consonants.

The 5 vowels are as follows: a, e, i, o, u.

Therefore, when nandini picked a letter from the set of english alphabets and found it to be vowel the probability that it is a or u

= (favourable outcomes / total no of outcomes)

= 2/5.

It is as simple as that.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for asking.
