Question

An individual chooses a letter from the alphabet. What is the probability that the letter is a consonant? In this situation assume y is a consonant. Write your answer as an exact fraction which is reduced as much as possible.

Answer 1

The vowelsn are: a, e, i, o, u, y ()

Total alphabet letters: 26

The consonants are: 26- 6= 20

Then the probability of choosing a letter that is a consonant is:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{20}{26}= \\ \\ \frac{10}{13} \end{gathered}$
