Question

8. In a word game, you choose a tile from a bag, replace it, and then choose another. If there are 28 vowels and 12 consonants, what is the probability you will choose a consonant and then a vowel?

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that you will choose a consonant and then a vowel is 0.21....

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no of tiles = 28 + 12 = 40

First you should choose a consonant = 12/40

Second you should choose a vowel = 28/40

So the probability you choose a consonant and then a vowel:

= 12/40 * 28/40

=336/1600

=0.21

So the probability that you will choose a consonant and then a vowel is 0.21....
