a) The alphabet (26 members)
b)i) Assuming a,e,i,o,u are vowels (not counting y).
P%28consonant%29=%2826-5%29%2F26=21%2F26
ii) P%28b%29=1%2F26
iii) P%28a%2Cb%2Cc%2Cd%29=P%28a%29%2BP%28b%29%2BP%28c%29%2BP%28d%29=4%2F26=2%2F13
iv) P%28y%29=1%2F26
v) P=P%28vowel%29%2BP%28consonant%29=5%2F26%2B21%2F26=26%2F26=1
vi) P=P%28m%29%2BP%28n%29=2%2F26=1%2F13
