The correct option is B 0.32
The five vowels of English alphabet are A, E, I, O and U.
Given, the number of vowels in the passage = 150
Number of A's, E's and I's = 32 + 40 + 30 = 102
We know, for an event E,
P(E)=Number of trials in which the event happenedTotal number of trials
Hence,
P(next vowel being an A, E or I)=102150
Also, we know, sum of probablities of all possible outcomes of an event is 1.
So, P(next vowel being an A, E or I) + P(next vowel not being an A, E or I) = 1
or, P(next vowel being an A, E or I) + P(next vowel being an O or an U) = 1
⟹P(next vowel being an O or an U)=1−102150=48150=0.32
[Alternatively,
Given, the number of vowels in the passage = 150
Number of A's, E's and I's = 32 + 40 + 30 = 102
Number of O's and U's = 150 - 102 = 48
P(next vowel being an O or an U)
=48150=0.32 ]
