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 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 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.
