To determine which event is most likely to happen, we need to look at the probabilities of each event:
-
Randomly picking a consonant from the English alphabet: There are 21 consonants (B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z) out of 26 letters in total. The probability is \( \frac{21}{26} \).
-
Getting a head from a single toss of a fair coin: There are 2 outcomes (heads or tails), so the probability is \( \frac{1}{2} \) or \( 0.5 \).
-
Getting a 6 when rolling a single die: There are 6 outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), so the probability is \( \frac{1}{6} \) or approximately \( 0.1667 \).
-
Randomly picking a vowel letter from the English alphabet: There are 5 vowels (A, E, I, O, U) out of 26 letters in total. The probability is \( \frac{5}{26} \) or approximately \( 0.1923 \).
In summary, the probabilities are:
- Consonant: \( \frac{21}{26} \approx 0.8077 \)
- Head from coin toss: \( 0.5 \)
- Getting a 6 on the die: \( \frac{1}{6} \approx 0.1667 \)
- Vowel: \( \frac{5}{26} \approx 0.1923 \)
The event with the highest probability is randomly picking a consonant from the English alphabet.
