Answer:
The probability is 42%
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First take in account that the probability of take a vowel will be given by the following equation:
[tex]Probability=\frac{numberofvowels}{totalnumberofletters}[/tex]
2. Count the number of vowels.
The number of vowels in the word "Mathematical" is 5
3. Count the total number of letters.
The total number of letters (including the vowels) in the word "Mathematical" is 12
4. So we have the following:
[tex]Probability=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
[tex]Probability=0.42[/tex]
Therefore, there are a probability of 42% that the piece of paper will be a vowel.
