At the beginning of a French Scrabble game, 55 of the 102 tiles are consonants. Drawing one tile at random therefore gives about a 54% chance of getting a consonant.
Calculation
p = 55 consonants / 102 tiles
Assumptions
The complete French bag is used, and each tile is equally likely to be drawn. It contains 55 consonants, 45 vowels including Y, and two blank tiles. Blanks count as neither consonants nor vowels.
