If you have a bag of alphabet tiles that contains one tile for each letter of the alphabet. What is the probability that you will pull a vowel?

I think it is 5/26 because the probability of pulling a vowel is pretty low

To find the probability of pulling a vowel from a bag of alphabet tiles, we need to determine the number of vowels in the bag and the total number of tiles.

First, let's identify the vowels in the English alphabet: A, E, I, O, and U.

Next, we count the total number of tiles in the bag, which is equal to the number of letters in the alphabet, which is 26.

Then, we count the number of vowels in the bag, which is 5 (A, E, I, O, and U).

Finally, we calculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (pulling a vowel) by the total number of possible outcomes (pulling any letter from the bag).

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

Probability of pulling a vowel = 5 (number of vowels) / 26 (total number of tiles)

So, the probability of pulling a vowel from the bag is 5/26 or approximately 0.1923 (rounded to four decimal places) or 19.23% (rounded to two decimal places).
