Letter tiles W,I,S,D,O,M are placed on a box.what is the probability that the letter she picks is a vowel?
There are two vowels in the letter tiles: I and O.
The total number of letter tiles is 6.
Therefore, the probability of picking a vowel is:
Number of vowels / Total number of tiles = 2 / 6 = 1/3
So, the probability of picking a vowel is 1/3.
To find the probability of picking a vowel, we first need to determine how many vowels are among the given letter tiles.
Given letter tiles: W, I, S, D, O, M
The vowels among these tiles are I and O. So, there are a total of 2 vowels.
Next, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes, which is the total number of tiles. In this case, there are 6 letter tiles.
Therefore, the probability of picking a vowel can be calculated as the number of favorable outcomes (picking a vowel) divided by the total number of possible outcomes:
Probability of picking a vowel = (Number of vowels) / (Total number of tiles)
= 2 / 6
= 1/3
Hence, the probability of picking a vowel is 1/3.
