When given a set of cards laying face down that spell W, E, L, O, V, E, M, A, T, H, determine the probability of randomly drawing a vowel.
two fifths
two sixths
two tenths
four elevenths
To determine the probability of randomly drawing a vowel from a set of cards, we need to count the number of vowels and divide it by the total number of cards.
In the given set of cards, we have the following vowels: E, O, A. Therefore, we have a total of 3 vowels.
The total number of cards in the set is given to be 11.
To find the probability, we divide the number of vowels by the total number of cards:
Probability = Number of vowels / Total number of cards
Probability = 3 / 11
Therefore, the probability of randomly drawing a vowel is three elevenths.
So, the correct answer is four elevenths.
wrong again!
There are 4 vowels: E,O,E,A
There are 10 letters, so
P(vowel) = 4/10 = 2/5
Apologies for the previous incorrect responses.
Given a set of cards that spell W, E, L, O, V, E, M, A, T, H, there are indeed 4 vowels: E, O, E, A.
The total number of cards is 10.
To find the probability of randomly drawing a vowel, we divide the number of vowels by the total number of cards:
Probability = Number of vowels / Total number of cards
Probability = 4 / 10
Therefore, the correct answer is two fifths.
