Question

Which event is most likely to happen?
A. getting a 6 when rolling a single dice once
B. randomly picking a vowel letter from the English alphabet
C. getting a head from a single toss of a fair coin
D.  randomly picking a consonant from the English alphabet

Answer 1

D.

Probabilities:
- A: P(6) = 1/6 ≈ 0.1667
- B: P(vowel) = 5/26 ≈ 0.1923 (typically A, E, I, O, U)
- C: P(head) = 1/2 = 0.5
- D: P(consonant) = 21/26 ≈ 0.8077

Even if Y were counted as a vowel (6/26), consonant probability (20/26 ≈ 0.7692) is still the largest.
