Find the probability that the chosen letter is a (i) vowel (ii) consonant (iii) an S.

Answer

` (i) 6/11 (ii) 5/11 (iii) 2/11`

Total number of letters in the given word = 11.
(i) Number of vowels in the given word = 6.
` :. ` P(selecting a vowel) = ` 6/11`.
(ii) Number of consonants in the given word = 5.
P(selecting a consonant) ` = 5/11`.
(iii) Number of S in the given word = 2.
