उत्तर

A letter is selected from the word “MOBILE”

TO FIND: Probability that the letter chosen is a vowel

Total letter in the word “MOBILE” is 6

Vowels in the word “MOBILE” are ‘O’.’I’,’E’

Hence total number of favorable outcome is 3 i.e. ‘O’.’I’,’E’

`"We know that PROBABILITY" = "Number of favourable event"/"Total number of event"`

Hence probability that the letter chosen is a vowel `3/6=1/2`
