Answer:

d. 5/26

Explanation:

Given : If a letter of the alphabet is chosen at random.

To find : what is the probability that it will be a vowel.

Solution : We have total alphabets = 26 ( A to Z )

And we have total vowel = 5 ( a, e, i ,o ,u )

Then , probability =
$(favourble\ outcome)/(Total\ number\ of\ outcome)$ .

probability =
(5)/(26) .

Therefore, d. 5/26
