To determine which event is most likely to happen, let's analyze the probabilities of each event listed:
-
Getting a head from a single toss of a fair coin: The probability of getting a head is \( \frac{1}{2} \) (or 50%).
-
Randomly picking a vowel letter from the English alphabet: The English alphabet has 5 vowels (A, E, I, O, U) out of 26 letters. So, the probability of picking a vowel is \( \frac{5}{26} \) (approximately 19.23%).
-
Randomly picking a consonant letter from the English alphabet: There are 21 consonants in the English alphabet. The probability of picking a consonant is \( \frac{21}{26} \) (approximately 80.77%).
-
Getting a 6 when rolling a single number cube once: A standard number cube (die) has 6 faces. The probability of rolling a 6 is \( \frac{1}{6} \) (approximately 16.67%).
Now let's compare the probabilities:
- Coin toss (head): \( \frac{1}{2} \) or 50%
- Vowel: \( \frac{5}{26} \) or approximately 19.23%
- Consonant: \( \frac{21}{26} \) or approximately 80.77%
- Rolling a 6: \( \frac{1}{6} \) or approximately 16.67%
Based on these calculations, the event that is most likely to happen is randomly picking a consonant letter from the English alphabet, with the highest probability of about 80.77%.
