Question

Suppose you write each letter of the alphabet on a different slip of paper and put the slips into a hat. What is the probability of drawing one slip of paper from the hat at random and getting a vowel?

Answer 1

Not counting y as a vowel: 5/26 or a 19.23% chance

Explanation:

There are a total of 26 letters in the alphabet.

There are 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u)

Picking a vowel has a 5 in 26 chance of occurring.

Answer 2

5/26 chance because there is only five vowels in the alphabet
