Answer 1

B. 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Letters mixed: {S, E, M, I, T, R, O, P, I, C, A, L} = 12 Letters

There are 5 vowels and they are: 'a', 'e', 'i', ' o', and 'u'

In here the vowels are: E, I, O, I, A = 5 vowels here

So,

probability: number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

probability: 5/12
