1. First, it is necessary to determine the probability of getting a consonant of a vowel, by taking into account the probabilities shown on the diagram:

The vowels are E and A, and the sum of their probabilities is:

180/360 + 10/360 = 190/360 = 0.527

The consonants are D, B, F, and C, and the sum of their probabilities is:

90/360 + 20/360 + 40/360 + 20/360 = 170/360 = 0.472

Hence, it is more likely to hit a vowel

2. For the panel C or B, you have:

20/360 + 20/360 = 0.111

The probability is 0.111

3. The probability for each letter is:

E: 180/360 = 1/2

D: 90/360 = 1/4

C: 20/360 = 1/18

F: 40/360 = 1/9

B: 20/360 = 1/18

A: 10/360 = 1/36

Hence, panels C, F, B and A have a probability less than 1/6.
