The English alphabet has 26 letters, out of which 5 are vowels (a, e, i, o, u). Therefore, there are 21 consonants in the English alphabet.
The probability of selecting a consonant is the number of consonants divided by the total number of letters in the alphabet, which is 21/26.
Therefore, the probability of selecting a consonant is 21/26 in its simplest form.
