The probability of picking 5 vowels and 3 consonants is 0.00014

Given;

5 vowels

3 consonants

To find:

the probability of picking 5 vowels and 3 consonants letters from English Alphabets with replacement.

There are 26 English Alphabets.

There are 5 vowels in the alphabet

There are 21 consonants in the alphabet

The probability of picking 5 vowels;

[tex]5 \ vowels = \frac{5}{26} \times \frac{5}{26} \times \frac{5}{26} \times \frac{5}{26} \times \frac{5}{26} = \frac{3125}{11,881,376}[/tex]

The probability of picking 3 consonants;

[tex]3 \ consonants = \frac{21}{26} \times \frac{21}{26} \times \frac{21}{26} = \frac{9261}{17,576}[/tex]

The probability of picking 5 vowels and 3 consonants;

[tex]5\ vowels \ 3\ consonants = \frac{3125}{11,881,376} \times \frac{9261}{17,576} = \frac{28,940,625}{208827064576} = 0.00014[/tex]

Thus, the probability of picking 5 vowels and 3 consonants is 0.00014
