The sample space of an experiment is S = {a, b, c, d, e, f}. What is the probability of picking
a consonant? Write your answer in the simplest fraction form. (1 point)
First, we identify the vowels in the sample space S, which are {a, e}.
Then, we can calculate the number of consonants in the sample space by subtracting the number of vowels from the total number of elements in S:
Number of consonants = Total number of elements - Number of vowels
Number of consonants = 6 - 2 = 4
Therefore, the probability of picking a consonant is:
Probability = Number of consonants / Total number of elements
Probability = 4 / 6 = 2 / 3
So, the probability of picking a consonant is 2/3.
