1 answer

To find the probability of choosing a vowel from the phrase "Word Clean," we first need to identify the total number of letters and the number of vowels present in that phrase.

  1. Count the letters:

    • The phrase "Word Clean" has a total of 9 letters (W, o, r, d, C, l, e, a, n).
  2. Count the vowels:

    • The vowels in "Word Clean" are: o, e, a.
    • Therefore, there are 3 vowels.
  3. Calculate the probability:

    • The probability \( P \) of choosing a vowel is given by the formula: \[ P(\text{vowel}) = \frac{\text{Number of vowels}}{\text{Total number of letters}} = \frac{3}{9} \]
    • Simplifying this gives \( \frac{1}{3} \).
  4. Convert to a percentage:

    • To get the probability in percentage, multiply by 100: \[ P(\text{vowel}) = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 \approx 33.33% \]

So, the probability of choosing a vowel from "Word Clean" is approximately 33.33%.
