A certain text has one-third vowels and two-thirds consonants. Five letters are chosen at random, with replacement, and you are asked to guess the sequence. Assuming that the guesses are independent, find the probability that all guesses are correct if for each letter you: Let 1. guess vowel or consonant with equal probabilities 2. guess vowel with probability 1/3 and consonant with probability 2/3 V be the event that C be the event that R; be the event that the i guess is correct
