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
A. 2 out of 3
B. 1 out of 3
C. 2 out of 6
D. 3 out of 2
The consonants in the sample space are b, c, d, and f.
There are 4 consonants out of a total of 6 outcomes, so the probability of picking a consonant is 4 out of 6.
Therefore, the simplest fraction for the probability of picking a consonant is 2 out of 3.
A. 2 out of 3
are sure
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct that.
The consonants in the sample space are b, c, d, and f (4 consonants). The total number of outcomes in the sample space is 6.
The probability of picking a consonant is then 4 (number of consonants) divided by 6 (total outcomes) which simplifies to 2/3.
So, the correct answer is:
A. 2 out of 3
