Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In probability
- "AND" means "MULTIPLICATION"
- "OR" means "ADDITION"
Here, we want P(vowel) "AND" P(consonant). So we find individual probabilities and "MULTIPLY" them.
Firstly, P(vowel):
From the letters a,b,c,i,e ------ we know 2 are vowel and 3 are consonants (total 5)
Hence, P(vowel) = 2/5
Second, P(consonant):
There are 3 consonants, hence
P(consonant) = 3/5
Now, we multiply:
P(vowel and consonant) = P(vowel) * P(consonant) = 2/5 * 3/5 = 6/25
The probability that one is vowel and the other is a consonant =
