Word 1) 'math' has one vowel letter among a total of 4 letters. The probability of
randomly selecting the vowel letter 'a' is P(v) = 1/4.
Word 2) 'jokes' has two vowel letters among a total of 5 letters. The probability of
randomly selecting a vowel letter is P(v) = 2/5.
The probability of randomly selecting a vowel letter from the first word and a vowel
letter from the second word is: P(v1,v2) = 1/4 (2/5) = 2/20 = 1/10 = 0.10 = 10.0%

What is the probability of choosing a letter from the word probability?
Since the word "probability" contains only letters, then the probability of choosing a letter from the word "probability" is 1, i.e. it is certain to happen.
What is the probability that a letter chosen at random from the 26 letters in the alphabet would be in the word mathematics?
There are eight different letters in 'mathematics' - a, c, e, h, i, m, s and t. Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, the chance of a randomly chosen one being a letter that's in mathematics is 8/26, or 4/13.
What is the probability that two students will think of the same letter of the alphabet at the same time?
I think it depends on how many students are thinking of alphabet letters at the same time :) The first student will think of a letter from the English alphabet. Then, the second student will think of a letter. The probability that the second student will select what the first student selected is 1/26.

What is the probability of selecting a constant from the letters?
Until the letter is selected, it is a variable. Immediately after it is selected, the outcome is no longer a variable but a constant.
What would be the theoretical probability of randomly choosing the letter s from the letters in stars?
There are five letters, and two of them are s's. The theoretical probability of choosing an s would be 2 out of 5.2/5 or 40%
