To determine the probability that the spinner lands on a vowel, we first identify the total number of spaces and the number of favorable outcomes (the vowels).
The spinner has 26 spaces, which are labeled from A to Z. The vowels among these are:
- A
- E
- I
- O
- U
Counting the vowels, we have a total of 5 vowels.
Now, we calculate the probability of landing on a vowel. The probability \( P \) is given by the formula:
\[ P = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \]
Substituting in our values:
\[ P = \frac{5 \text{ (vowels)}}{26 \text{ (total spaces)}} \]
Thus, the probability that the spinner lands on a vowel is:
\[ \frac{5}{26} \]
Therefore, the final answer is:
\[ \frac{5}{26} \]
