What is the ration between vowels and consonates in a US dictionary?

Since there are 20 consonants and six vowels I believe the ratio is 6/20 or 30 percent. Taking a random sample of 168 letters in a medical flier, I found 54 vowels and 168 total letters. This results in a percentage of 32 percent. If the vowels are subtracted from the total number of letters the ratio is 54 to 118 which is a percentage of 0.457 percent. I believe the first method is a more accurate method of determining the ratio which is approximately 30/100 or 30 percent. From a scientific perspective, a sample size of at least thirty must be examined to determine with some accuracy if the 30/100 ratio or 30 percent is valid.
