Please Help! Each letter of the alphabet is written on a different piece of paper. These pieces of paper are folded ad kept in a bag. One folded paper is drawn at random from this bag. What is the probability of drawing a 'p' or a vowel from the word 'palindrome'? All answers appreciated, thank you for your time!

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

First you need to know how many letters are in the alphabet?

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

There are 4 vowels in PALINDROME, and 1 letter P in the alphabet, so there are 5 "favorable outcomes"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 5/26?

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

Yup
