Question

The probability of selecting a vowel from the word CHOCOLATE is .

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

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

$\frac{1}{3}$

Total number of letters in the word 'CHOCOLATE' = 9
Vowels in the given word = O, O, A, E
Total number of vowels in the given word = 4
Total no. of favorable outcomes = 4

The probability of getting vowel is
$P\left(E\right)=\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$

$P\left(E\right)=\frac{\text{Number of vowels}}{\text{Total number of letters}}$

$\therefore P\left(E\right)=\frac{4}{9}$
