Question

The letter of the word MATHEMATICS is written on different cards placed in a bowl. One card
is selected at random. Find the following probability
(a) Probability of getting letter M
(b) Probability of getting vowels
(c) Probability of getting consonants

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematics” is eleven letters, if I'm counting correctly, and there are four vowels.

There are total 11 letters in the word M.A.T.H.E.M.A.T.I.C.S., there are total 4 vowel and 7 consonants.

So, the probability of choosing a vowel is 4/11.

ANSWER= 4/11

WHY?

Because the formula of probability is:

Possible outcome / total no. of outcome

So, 4 (A, E, A, I) is the possible vowel outcome from the word mathematics.

And 11 (M,A,T,H,E,M,A,T,I,C,S) is the total letters outcome in the term mathematics.
