The sample space of an expenment is S = {a, b, c, d, e, f} What is the probability of
picking a consonant? Wnte your answer in the simplest fraction form.
• 3/2
• 2/3
• 2/6
• 1/3
Since we are looking for the probability of picking a consonant from the sample space, we need to first determine how many consonants are in the sample space. In this case, the consonants are b, c, d, and f (since a and e are vowels).
There are 4 consonants out of a total of 6 letters in the sample space, so the probability of picking a consonant is 4/6, which simplifies to 2/3.
Therefore, the answer is:
• 2/3
