Question

Each letter of the word GEOMETRICAL is written on a separate piece of paper and put in a bag. You pick a random letter from the bag. What is the probability that it is a vowel?

Answer 1

5/11

Explanation:

Probability is the chance that something will happen. Basically, it answers the question of how many times an event will occur in a given number of opportunities.

In this example, the word "GEOMETRICAL" has 11 letters and 5 of them are vowels. They are: E, O, E, I, A. The probability of picking a vowel is 5/11. We could say that there are 5 out of 11 chances of a vowel to occur whenever a piece of paper is taken out of the bag.
