Question

A letter of english alphabet is chosen at random.Find the probability that the letter chosen is a consonant

Answer 1

Total letters in English: 26
Total consonants = 26 - 5 = 21
( Vovels = a, e, i, o, u)

Therefore,

P(E) = Total number of outcomes favourable to the event/ total number of outcome

= 21/26

Hence, probability that the letter chosen is a consonant is 21/26

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The letters are {bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz}

No. Of outcomes favourable =21

Total no. Of outcomes =26

Probability (a consonant)=21/26
