If you put 21 consonants and 5 vowels in a bag. What would carry greater probability? Getting a consonant or a vowel? Find each probability.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Total number of possibilities `=21+5=26`
Probability (getting a consonant)`=21/26`
Probability( getting a vowel)`=5/26`
So probability of getting a consonant is greater because`21/26>5/26`
