Answer 1

The elements in the sample space that are consonants are b, c, d, f. There are 4 consonants out of 6 total elements in the sample space.

So, the probability of picking a consonant is 4/6.

Simplify this fraction to its simplest form:

4/6 = 2/3

Therefore, the probability of picking a consonant is 2/3.
