Question

a bag contains eight tiles labeled f, g, h, i, j, k, l, and m. one tile will be randomly picked. what is the probability of picking a vowel? write your answer as a fraction.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total outcomes

There are 8 tiles, so total outcomes = 8.

Step2: Identify favorable outcomes

Vowels among the labels are I only, so favorable outcomes = 1.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}=\frac{1}{8}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$
