If the letters of computer are randomly arranged in all possible ways, the probability the word begins with a vowel in five out of 26, or 0.1923. You do not need to consider any other letters, or any permutations or combinations, because you only asked about the first letter.
if you only consider the vowels to be aeiou, then the answer is that you have a 5 out of 26 (or .19%) chance.
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
4/11
3/7
the answer is 1 out of 26
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.
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%
There are 10 letters in the word "aspiration" and 5 of them are vowels. The probability of a randomly-selected letter being a vowel are 5/10 = 1/2 = 0.50.

sample space=13 no of possible outcomes (vowel)=5/13 no of possible outcomes (consonant)=7/13
The answer depends onthe alphabet that you chose,whether or not you consider y to be a vowel,whether or not each letter is equally likely to be chosen (eg not from a bag of scrabble tiles), andwhether or not the choice was random.If a choice was random, from equal numbers of letters from the modern Roman alphabet and y is not considered a vowel then the answer is 5/26.
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.
