Question

Deon is going to watch a movie in his collection. He has 10 action movies, 5 comedies, and 8 dramas. He will randomly select one movie. What is the probability that the movie he selects is not a drama?

Answer 1

Answer:

the probability that it is not a drama movie is 15/23

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability we have to make the number of favorable events divided the number of possible events

number of possible events = x

to calculate it we add all the movies

x = 10 + 5 + 8

x = 23

number of favorable events = y

to calculate it we subtract the drama movies from the total of movies

y = x - 8

y = 23 - 8

y = 15

now we divide 15 by 23 and we get the probability

15/23
