set # 1 = { a , b , o , d , e } set # 2 = { k , l , m , n , u , p } there are these two sets of letters , and you are going to pick exactly one letter from each set . what is the probability of picking at least one vowel ?
at least questions are best solved by taking the opposite scenario and subtracting it from 1 . probability of choosing no vowel from set 1 is 2 / 5 and set 2 is 5 / 6 . multiply these to get 1 / 3 . therefore , probability of picking at least one vowel = 1 - 1 / 3 = 2 / 3 . answer = e
