Each letter of the alphabet is written on a separate piece of paper and placed in a box. Find the probability of drawing a vowel, {a, e, i, o, u}, or a letter in the word "sum"

5/26 probability of drawing a vowel
3/26 probability of drawing s, u or m.

Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.

This is not the right answer as you would not count the u in "sum" twice. Your answer is 7/26
