Answer:

Without knowing the exact number of vowels and consonants in the bag, it is not possible to accurately predict the number of vowels. However, if the bag is made up of a certain proportion of vowels and consonants and this proportion remains consistent throughout the draws, we can use the proportion of vowels and consonants in the 50 draws to estimate the proportion in the bag.

For example, if after 50 draws, there are 20 vowels and 30 consonants, we can estimate that the bag contains 40% vowels and 60% consonants. So, we can estimate the number of vowels in the bag as 42(105 x 40%).
