To calculate the probability of picking a vowel from the letter tiles W, I, S, D, O, M, we first need to determine how many vowels are present among these letters. In this case, the vowels are "I" and "O" (W is not a vowel).
1. Number of vowels = 2
2. Total number of letter tiles = 6 (W, I, S, D, O, M)
The probability of picking a vowel can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (picking a vowel) by the total number of outcomes (picking any letter tile).
3. Probability = Number of vowels / Total number of letter tiles
4. Probability = 2 / 6
5. Probability = 1/3
Therefore, the probability that Abby picks a vowel from the box is 1/3. This means that out of every 3 letter tile picks, 1 of them is expected to be a vowel.
