Answer:_________

Answer 1

To determine which event is most likely to happen, we can analyze the probabilities of each event:

1. Randomly picking a vowel letter from the English alphabet:

   • The vowels are A, E, I, O, U (5 vowels).
   • There are 26 letters in the English alphabet.
   • Probability = 5/26.

2. Randomly picking a consonant from the English alphabet:

   • There are 21 consonants in the English alphabet.
   • Probability = 21/26.

3. Getting a 6 when rolling a single die once:

   • A standard die has 6 faces, numbered 1 to 6.
   • Probability = 1/6.

4. Getting a head from a single toss of a fair coin:

   • A fair coin has 2 faces (heads and tails).
   • Probability = 1/2.

Now, let's convert these probabilities to a common fraction or decimal for comparison:

• Vowel: 5/26 ≈ 0.192.
• Consonant: 21/26 ≈ 0.808.
• Rolling a 6: 1/6 ≈ 0.1667.
• Coin toss head: 1/2 = 0.5.

Based on the calculated probabilities, the event with the highest probability is:

Answer: randomly picking a consonant from the English alphabet.
