Imagine each letter of the word "mathematical" is written on individual pieces of paper and placed in a bag. should you pick a random letter from that bag, what is the probability that you pick a vowel?

Probability is the chance or likelihood of a thing to happen. It is the extent to which an event is likely to occur. It is seen that how many times a thing occur out of the total one.

In this example, there are 5 vowels in MATHEMATICAL, these are, A, E A, I, A.

There are total 12 letters in this word. So the probability is 5/12. So there is 5/12 chances of vowels to occur whenever a piece of paper is taken out of the bag.

hi! i think the answer is 1/2 : )
