Math Problem Statement
A bag contains seven tiles labeled A,B,C,D,E,F and G. One tile will be randomly picked. What is the probability of picking a vowel? Write your answer as a fraction.
Solution
There are 7 tiles labeled .
Out of these, the vowels are and , which are 2 vowels.
The probability of picking a vowel is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (the vowels) by the total number of tiles.
Thus, the probability of picking a vowel is .
