A jar of alphabet tiles contains 10 unique consonant tiles and 5 unique vowel tiles. If 5 tiles are picked randomly, the probability that 3 are consonants and 2 are vowels is____
The required probability is found as follows: [tex]P(3\ consonants\ and\ 2\ vowels)=\frac{10C3\times5C2}{15C5}=0.3996[/tex] The answer is 0.3996 or 0.4 to 1 d.p.
