Player pays a fee, then reaches into a large jar and picks out a ball. The jar contains one ball for each letter of the alphabet. If the players picks out a ball with a vowel on it, the player wins 200 dollars. If the player picks out a ball with a consonant on it, the player wins nothing. What fee should be charged to play this game in order for it to be considered a fair game?
