Answer:

0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given that in a city there are 49 % = 0.49 adults

So, the females in the city = 100%-49% =51% = 0.51

24% of the adults are male and rent action-movie DVDs,

10% of the adults are female and rent action-movie DVDs.

Probability of occurring an event :

\frac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{total outcomes}}

Now to find the  probability that the adult rents action-movie DVDs, given that the adult is female:

Favorable outcomes(females rented action movie DVDs) = 10% =0.1

Total Outcomes (total females) =51%=0.51

So, probability that the adult rents action-movie DVDs, given that the adult is female:

\frac{\text{females rent movies}}{\text{total females}}

\frac{0.1}{0.51}

0.19

Thus the probability that the adult rents action-movie DVDs, given that the adult is female is 0.19

I getting the probability of the adult female that will rent the action movies in DVDs in by dividing the possible probability outcome which is 10% of all adults by the total number of possible outcome. So all of the population of the female is 51% and the ones who rent is only 10%. the probability is 19%
