The theoretical probability of selecting a consonant at random from a list of letters in the alphabet is 21/26. Wayne opens a book, randomly selects a letter on the page and records the letter. He repeats the experiment 200 times. He finds p(consonant) = 60%. How does the theoretical probability differ from the experimental probability? What are some possible sources for this discrepancy. I will mark brainlest

Answer:

The theoretical probability in this case is calculated by taking the number of consonants in the alphabet and dividing it by total number of letters in the alphabet and the distribution of letters in the written language is different than the distribution of letters in the alphabet.
