Question

Jenny has a deck of 52 alphabet cards (26 uppercase and 26 lower case). Jenny selects one card.What is the probability that she selects a vowel?

Answer 1

We know that we have five vowels in the alphabet. Since the deck has uppercase and lower case cards this means that it has a total of 10 vowels.

The probability is given by the quotient between the number of favorable outcomes and the number of total outcomes; then in this case we have:

`P=(10)/(52)=(5)/(26)`

Therefore the probability of selecting a vowel is 5/26
