To find the probability of picking a consonant, we need to determine the number of consonants in the sample space and then divide it by the total number of elements in the sample space.
In the sample space S={a, b, c, d, e, f}, the consonants are b, c, d, and f. There are a total of 4 consonants.
To find the probability, we divide the number of consonants (4) by the total number of elements in the sample space (6):
Probability = Number of consonants / Total number of elements
Probability = 4 / 6
Probability = 2 / 3
Therefore, the probability of picking a consonant from the sample space S={a, b, c, d, e, f} is 2/3.
