So, (this is not homework), I have been stuck on a question regarding probability for a while now and am clueless of how to continue. The question is:
The letters A, E, I, P, Q, and R are arranged in a circle. Find the probability that at least 2 vowels are next to one another.
My attempt: Alright, since one letter is fixed, that leaves us with 5 letters to arrange. I'm going to fix the consonant in this case, since it is particularly easier for me :P. The remaining spots (5 left) can be arranged 3!*2! (remaining vowels and consonants respectively).
I'm lost here though, so any help on what to do/correct me would help. Thanks! :D
