If a letter is chosen at random from the English alphabet, find the probability that the letter is chosen is(i) a vowel (ii) a consonant |
Answer» Total number of possible outcomes = Total number of alphabets = 26 We know, Probability of occurrence of an event = (Total number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of outcomes) (i) a vowel Favorable outcomes are a, e, i, o, u Total number of favorable outcomes = 5 Therefore, the probability that the letter is chosen is a vowel = 5/26 (ii) a consonant Total number of consonant = 26 – 5 = 21 Therefore, the probability that the letter is chosen is a consonant = 21/26 |
