Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Letter P is drawn - Impossible because there is no paper with P on it.

Letter drawn is a consonant - Likely because there are 6 out of 8 letters which are consonants.

Letter drawn is a vowel - Unlikely because there are only 2 vowels out of 8 letters.

Letter drawn is one of the first ten letters in the alphabet - Equally likely as there is 4 of these out of a total of 8.

Letter is L - Unlikely as there is only 1 piece of paper with L on it.

The paper draw has one letter on it - Certain as there is a letter on all the pieces of paper.
