Consider a bowl contains 36 different slips of paper. Ten of the slips of paper each contain one of the set of digits 0 through 9 and 26 slips each contain one of the 26 letters of the alphabet. Determine the probabilities of the events specified. Drawing one slip, what is P(slip contains a vowel)?

Answer: 5/36 13.8888888%.
Is this right?

Correct, if you dont' count y as a vowel

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

To determine the probability of drawing a slip that contains a vowel, you first need to know the total number of slips in the bowl and the number of slips that contain vowels.

In this scenario, there are 26 slips that contain letters from the alphabet, and out of those, 5 are vowels (A, E, I, O, U). Additionally, there are 10 slips that contain digits from 0 to 9, which are not relevant for this particular probability calculation.

So, the total number of slips that contain vowels is 5.

The total number of slips in the bowl is given as 36. Therefore, the probability of drawing a slip that contains a vowel can be calculated by dividing the number of slips that contain vowels by the total number of slips:

P(slip contains a vowel) = 5/36

To convert this probability to a percentage, you multiply by 100:

P(slip contains a vowel) = 5/36 * 100 = 13.8888888%

Therefore, the given answer of 5/36 or 13.8888888% is correct.
