Question

Each letter of the alphabet is written on a separate piece of paper and placed in a box. Find the
probability of drawing a vowel, {a, e, i, o, u}, or a letter in the word "segments"?

Answer 1

I am pretty sure that this is how you do it:

There are 26 letters in the alphabet so if there are five vowels then it would be

5/26

in the word segments 7 letters are used so you don't count the second s
so it would be 7/26
