Question

A letter is to be picked at random from the English alphabet. If each letter is equally likely to be selected, what is the probability of selecting a consonant? Consonants are letters except for a, e, i, o, and u. Write your answer in the simplest form of fraction.(1 point)

Answer 1

There are 21 consonants in the English alphabet (excluding a, e, i, o, and u) and a total of 26 letters in the alphabet.

Therefore, the probability of selecting a consonant is 21/26.

So, the probability of selecting a consonant is 21/26 or 0.8077.
