The answer depends on
- the 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), and
- whether 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.

What is the probability of a vowel being picked at random from the alphabet?
Probability is given as Desired Outcomes divided by total number of outcomes. For the probability of picking a vowel, desired outcomes are : a,e,i,o,u (5) Total no. of outcomes is the entire alphabet set from a to z (26) Hence, the required probabilty is 5/26
What is the probability of drawing a vowel from the alphabet cards?
There are 26 letters and 5 vowels so 5/26.
What is the probability of a vowel being picked at randoms from the word probability?
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 randomly choosing a vowel from the letters a b c d e?
There are 5 letters in the set {a, b, c, d, e}, and 2 of these letters are vowels (a, e). Therefore, the probability of randomly choosing a vowel from this set is the number of favorable outcomes (2 vowels) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (5 letters), which equals 2/5 or 0.4.
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 of choosing a vowel or one of the first 10 letters of the alphabet?

What is the probability of choosing a vowel in word MATHEMETICS?
In the word "MATHEMETICS," there are a total of 11 letters, with the vowels being A, E, E, and I, which gives us 4 vowels. To find the probability of choosing a vowel, we divide the number of vowels by the total number of letters: ( \frac{4}{11} ). Therefore, the probability of choosing a vowel in the word MATHEMETICS is ( \frac{4}{11} ).
What is the probability of a vowel being picked at random from the alphabet?

What is the probability of choosing at random a vowel from the word puzzle?
"Puzzle" has 6 letters, and 2 of them are vowels. So the odds of choosing a vowel are 2/6, which equals 1/3, which is one-third or 33.33%.
What is the first vowel in the alphabet?
The first vowel in the alphabet is "A."
What is the probability that a letter picked at random is not a vowel?
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
What is the probability of choosing a letter from the word space?
The word "space" consists of 5 letters: s, p, a, c, and e. If you are choosing one letter at random from these 5 letters, the probability of choosing any specific letter is 1 out of 5, or 20%. If you're looking for the probability of choosing a vowel (a or e), it would be 2 out of 5, or 40%.
If you are choosing one state at and 8203 random are you more likely to choose a state whose name begins with a consonant or a and 8203 vowel What is the probability of and 8203 each?
In the United States, there are 50 states, 21 of which have names that begin with a consonant and 5 that start with a vowel. This means that the probability of randomly choosing a state that begins with a consonant is 21/50 (42%), while the probability of choosing a state that begins with a vowel is 5/50 (10%). Therefore, you are more likely to choose a state whose name begins with a consonant.
