Answer:

The question has a missing part and here it the complete question:

Imagine each letter of the word “Mathematical” is written on individual pieces of paper and placed in a bag. Should you pick a random letter from that bag, what is the probability that you pick a vowel?

Answer: 5/12

Explanation:

The question asks for the probability of picking a vowel.

From the word 'Mathematical', we have a total of 12 letters and a total of 5 vowels (a,e,a,i,a).

Probability of picking a vowel = Total number of times the event(vowel) occurs/total number of possible outcomes(total letters)


Probability = (5)/(12)
