Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

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 preeti picked a letter from the set of english alphabets and found it to be a vowel.

The probability that it is "E"

P(E) = (favourable outcomes / total no of outcomes)

= 1/5.

It is as simple as that.
