The answer depends on

  • the alphabet that you chose,
  • whether or not you consider y to be a vowel,
  • whether or not each letter is equally likely to be chosen (eg not from a bag of Scrabble tiles), and
  • whether or not the choice was random.

If a choice was random, from equal numbers of letters from the modern Roman alphabet and y is not considered a vowel then the answer is 5/26.

What is the probability that a letter picked at random is not a vowel?

To work out probability you have to know the number of possible options, and how many of those options meet the criteria. In this case there are 26 possible options (all the letters) and 21 that meet the criteria (21 non-vowels). The probability is the number that match divided by the total number possible. In this case it would be 21/26. This comes out to approximately 0.80769. Thus the probability that a letter picked at random is not a vowel is 0.80769
