Question

A bag contains seven tiles labeled B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. One tile will be randomly picked. What is the probability of picking a vowel?

Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

`\sf (1)/(7)`

Explanation:

Given labeled tiles: B, C, D, E, F, G, H

Total number of tiles = 7

Vowels = A, E, I, O and U

⇒ Total number of vowel tiles in bag = 1

`\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = (Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur)/(Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes)`

`\implies \sf Probability\:of\:picking\:a\:vowel= (Number\:of\:vowel\:tiles)/(Total\:number\:of\:tiles)=(1)/(7)`
