If you randomly select a letter from the phrase "Do not run on Ichiro," what is the probability that you select a consonant? (Your answer must be in the form of a reduced fraction.)



Answer :

Let:

A = Select a consonant

a = Number of consonants

N = Total number of letters

The probability of select a consonant is given by:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(A)=\frac{a}{N} \\ so\colon \\ P(A)=\frac{9}{16} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
