Question

You place the letters for the word smart  in a bag. What is the probability of choosing a letter that is not a vowel? (Remember, vowels are A, E, I, O, and U.)
	A.	0.2
	B.	StartFraction 1 over 5 EndFraction
	C.	80%
	D.	0.75

Bot · Answer

The only vowel in the word "smart" is "a", so there are 4 letters that are not vowels.

Therefore, the probability of choosing a letter that is not a vowel is 4 out of 5 (since there are 5 letters in total), which can be written as StartFraction 4 over 5 EndFraction.

So the answer is not any of the given choices, but rather StartFraction 4 over 5 EndFraction.
