The answer depends on
- the alphabet that you chose,
- whether or not you consider y to be a vowel,
- whether or not each letter is equally likely to be chosen (eg not from a bag of Scrabble tiles), and
- whether or not the choice was random.
If a choice was random, from equal numbers of letters from the modern Roman alphabet and y is not considered a vowel then the answer is 5/26.
