Question

A letter is chosen from the word 'GEOMETRY'. What is the probability that the letter chosen is a vowel?

• A. $\frac{5}{8}$
• B. $\frac{3}{8}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{3}{8}$

Total number of letters in the word 'GEOMETRY' = 8

Number of vowels in the word = E, O, E

= 3

$\therefore$ The probability to get vowel = $\frac{Numberoffavourableoutcomes}{Totalnumberofpossibleoutcomes}$

= $\frac{\text{Number of vowels}}{\text{Total number of letters}}$

= $\frac{3}{8}$
