Question

If you put 21 consonants and 5 vowels in a bag. What would carry greater probability? Getting a consonant or a vowel? Find each probability?

Answer 1

Total numbers of consonants = 21

Number of white vowels = 5

Total number of alphabets = 21 + 5 = 26

Probability of getting a consonant is = Total number of consonants/Total number of alphabets

= 21/26

Probability of getting a vowel is = Total number of vowels/Total number of alphabets

= 5/26

∴ The probability of getting a consonant is more.
