What is the probability of selecting a vowel from the English alphabet?
  • Step 1: Identify the total number of letters in the English alphabet. There are 26 letters.
  • Step 2: Identify the vowels in the English alphabet. The vowels are A, E, I, O, U.
  • Step 3: Count the number of vowels. There are 5 vowels.
  • Step 4: Use the formula for probability, which is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: P(vowel) = Number of vowels / Total letters = 5 / 26.
  • Step 6: Simplify the fraction if necessary, but in this case, 5/26 is already in its simplest form.
