Question

Following cards are facing down: [3 MARKS]

Find the probability of drawing:

1. Vowel

2. Consonant

Answer 1

Formula: 1 Mark
Application: 1 Mark
Calculation: 1 Mark

Here, we have 8 cards A, E, I, O, U, B, G, H

Vowels = A, E, I, O, U

$\Rightarrow$ Number of vowel cards = 5

So, probability of drawing vowel

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{\text{No.of vowels}}{\text{Total number of cards}}=\frac{5}{8}$

Consonants = B, G, H

$\Rightarrow$ Number of Consonant cards = 3

Probability of drawing consonant:

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{\text{No.of consonants}}{\text{Total number of cards}}=\frac{3}{8}$
