∙ 13y agoThink, if there are A, E, I, O, U, and couting Y, there are 6 vowels. there are 26 letters. So the answer is 6 over 26 and then you simplify it to 3 over 13.

I think it depends on how many students are thinking of alphabet letters at the same time :) The first student will think of a letter from the English alphabet. Then, the second student will think of a letter. The probability that the second student will select what the first student selected is 1/26.

Well, consider that there are 26 letters in the alphabet. 5 of these are vowels (a, e, i, o and u). Therefore the probability is 5/26 - or 0.192307692. This assumes, of course, that you are randomly picking a letter from the alphabet... or rather, that each letter occurs in equal proportion within a larger text. This assumes the English alphabet. In other alphabets from other languages, there may be a different quantity of vowels and a different quantity of consonants (or possibly other letters all together). In writing, however, it is not the case that each letter appears in equal proportion. In a typical written document, for example, vowels make up about 38% of a text, on average. But it depends on a particular text, too, it may vary a little. Of course, it matters which language you draw a text from. Those languages which use the exact same alphabet as in English dont necessarily have the same distribution of vowels in text.
There are eight different letters in 'mathematics' - a, c, e, h, i, m, s and t. Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, the chance of a randomly chosen one being a letter that's in mathematics is 8/26, or 4/13.

No. f is a letter of the Roman alphabet. It cannot be a probability density function.

The 21st letter of the Greek alphabet is Phi, which is written as Φ in uppercase and φ in lowercase.
A "letter" can refer to a written message or a character in an alphabet.
The probability that a letter picked at random is not a vowel depends on the set of letters you are choosing from. In the English alphabet, there are 21 consonants and 5 vowels, so the probability of picking a consonant is 21/26 or approximately 0.808.
The ninth letter of the Greek alphabet is iota. It is written uppercase Ι, lowercase ι, and the Greek name for the letter is Ιώτα.
The first letter in the Arabic alphabet is called "alif". It's written like this in Arabic: أ
The 14th letter of the modern Greek alphabet is xi. It is written uppercase Ξ, lowercase ξ , and the Greek name for the letter is ξι.
The 16th letter of the Greek alphabet is "pi", which is written as "π" in uppercase and "π" in lowercase.
