Nan wrote each letter in the word ILLINOIS on a separate slip of paper. She put
the slips in a bag. What is the probability of her drawing a slip that is labeled
with a vowel?
A 1/8
B. 218
C. 3/8
D. 4/8
E. 5/8
To find probability, you simply divide what you are looking for over the total. In the word, ILLINOIS, you have 4 vowels, and 8 letters total, so the probability of finding a vowel would be 4/8.
