Question

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 1

Let:

A = Select a consonant

a = Number of consonants

N = Total number of letters

The probability of select a consonant is given by:

`\begin{gathered} P(A)=(a)/(N) \\ so\colon \\ P(A)=(9)/(16) \\ \end{gathered}`
