A letter is chosen at random from the word "NATURAL". Find the probability that the letter is a vowel.​

Answer 1

The word "NATURAL" consists of 7 letters: N, A, T, U, R, A, L.

First, let's identify the vowels in the word:

• The vowels in "NATURAL" are A, A, and U.

Now, we count the total number of vowels:

• There are 3 vowels (A, A, and U).

Next, we find the total number of letters in the word "NATURAL":

• There are 7 letters in total.

The probability of randomly selecting a vowel is given by the ratio of the number of vowels to the total number of letters:

\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of Vowels}}{\text{Total Number of Letters}} = \frac{3}{7} \]

Thus, the probability that the letter chosen is a vowel is:

\[ \frac{3}{7} \]
