Question

From the word 'CHOCOLATE', a letter is selected at random. The probability that the chosen letter is a vowel is ___.

• A. $\frac{5}{9}$
• B. $\frac{4}{9}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{4}{9}$

Total number of letters in the word 'CHOCOLATE' = 9

Total number of vowels in the given word = O, O, A, E

= 4

$\text{The probability of getting vowel}=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$

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

$=\frac{4}{9}$
