A bag contains seven tiles labeled B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. One tile will be randomly picked. What is the probability of picking a vowel?
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sf \dfrac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given labeled tiles: B, C, D, E, F, G, H

Total number of tiles = 7

Vowels = A, E, I, O and U

⇒ Total number of vowel tiles in bag = 1

$\sf Probability\:of\:an\:event\:occurring = \dfrac{Number\:of\:ways\:it\:can\:occur}{Total\:number\:of\:possible\:outcomes}$

$\implies \sf Probability\:of\:picking\:a\:vowel= \dfrac{Number\:of\:vowel\:tiles}{Total\:number\:of\:tiles}=\dfrac{1}{7}$
