Question

Each letter in the word "mathematics" is written on a slip of paper and placed in a box. Lynette chooses a letter from the box, leaves it out, then picks another letter. What's the probability that Lynette chooses 2 vowels? Simplify your answer.

Answer 1

Mathematics....total vowels are 4...total letters are 11

probability of first pick being a vowel is : 4/11
leaving the letter out..
probability of second pick being a vowel is : 3/10

probability of both is : 4/11 * 3/10 = 12/110 reduces to 6/55 <==

Answer 2

Answer:

your answer in the simplest form is 6/55 hopefully this helps!
