Recall the reciprocal identity relating sine and cosecant: \(\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta}\).
Substitute the given value of \(\csc \theta = \frac{\sqrt{24}}{3}\) into the identity: \(\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{24}}{3}}\).
Simplify the complex fraction by multiplying numerator and denominator appropriately: \(\sin \theta = \frac{3}{\sqrt{24}}\).
Rationalize the denominator by multiplying numerator and denominator by \(\sqrt{24}\): \(\sin \theta = \frac{3 \times \sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{24} \times \sqrt{24}}\).
Simplify the denominator using the property \(\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{a} = a\) and reduce the fraction if possible to express \(\sin \theta\) in simplest form.
