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

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 vowel or one of the first 10 letters of the alphabet?
The probability for a single random choice, is 6/13.

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 of choosing a vowel from the word geometry?
3 in 8, 0.375, if you consider the y as a consonant, 4 in 8, 0.5, if not.
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
If one letter of the alphabet is chosen random what is the probability it is a vowel?
