Each individual letter of the word probability is typed on a separate identical slip of paper; all 11 pieces of paper are placed in a bowl and the pieces of paper are mixed. If one letter is chosen at random, find the probability that the letter chosen is
a. a t
P(t) = 1/11
-----------------
b. a vowel
P(vowel) = 4/11
-----------------
c. not a vowel
P(not vowel) = 7/11
----------------
d. a b
P(b) = 2/11
--------------
e. a b or an i
P(b or i) = 2/11 + 2/11 = 4/11
----------------
f. neither a b nor an i
P(not b and not i) = 7/11
