The total number of slips of paper
This is assuming that the probability of pulling out each individual slip is the same for all slips.

The probability for a single random choice, is 6/13.
To work out probability you have to know the number of possible options, and how many of those options meet the criteria. In this case there are 26 possible options (all the letters) and 21 that meet the criteria (21 non-vowels). The probability is the number that match divided by the total number possible. In this case it would be 21/26. This comes out to approximately 0.80769. Thus the probability that a letter picked at random is not a vowel is 0.80769
It is 19.2%
The word 'probability' has 11 letters and 5 of them are vowels (including the 'y'). Therefore the probability of picking a vowel is 5/11.

What is the probability of the spinner landing on CorB
Q. A letter is chosen at random from the word STATistician.What is the probability that it is a vowel?What is the probability that it is T.
the answer is 1 out of 26
In the word paper, the A is long, and the E is a weak sound (schwa), which is not exactly a short E. So no, paper doesn't have a short vowel.
The answer depends on the state of which country!

No. The A has a long A vowel sound, as in caper. The -er is a schwa sound.
