Given the phrase "Ichiro Suzuki is at the top of the lineup", you can identify that:
- The total number of letters the phrase has is:
[tex]Total=33[/tex]- The number of consonants the phrase has is:
[tex]Consonants=18[/tex]Therefore, you can find the probability that you select a consonant by dividing the number of consonants in the phrase by the total number of letters:
[tex]P=\frac{18}{33}[/tex]You can reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 3:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=\frac{18\div3}{33\div3} \\ \\ P=\frac{6}{11} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the answer is:
[tex]P=\frac{6}{11}[/tex]
