A letter of English alphabet is chosen at random. Determine the probability that the chosen letter is a consonant. |

Answer» Total number of English alphabets is 26. Total consonants in English alphabet are 21. One letter of English alphabet is chosen at random. ∴ the probability that the chosen letter is a consonant = \(\frac{Total\,consonant\,in\,english\,alphabet}{Total\,number\,of\,english\,alphabets}\) = \(\frac{21}{26}\). Hence, the probability that the chosen letter is a constant is \(\frac{21}{26}\). |
