Total number of pieces of paper
= 26 (=26 letters)
Total number of vowels
= 5 (AEIOU)
So probability of drawing a vowel
= 5/26
If y is counted as a vowel, then there are six of them, and the probability will be increased accordingly.
Each letter of alphabet is written on a separate piece of paper and placed in a box and then one piece is drawn at random.
. What is the probability that the selected piece of paper has a vowel written on it?

X over negative 3 plus 10>7
X over negative 3 plus 10>7
Each letter of the alphabet is written on a piece of paper and put in a hat. If a piece of paper is chosen at random, what is the probability that it will be a vowel?
the number of favorable out comes 5
the number of possible outcomes is 26
so P(vowel))= 5/26, or about 19 percent
