Think, 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.

What is the probability that two students will think of the same letter of the alphabet at the same time?

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.

What is the probability that a letter picked at random is a vowel?

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.


What is the probability of choosing a letter from the word probability?

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
