If a letter is chosen at random from the English alphabet, find the probability that the letter
(i) is a vowel exclusive of y;
5/26
-------
(ii) is listed somewhere ahead of the letter j;
j is the 10th letter
--> 16/26 = 8/13
------
(iii) is listed somewhere after the letter g.
g is the 7th letter
--> 18/26 = 9/13
