Answer:

C. 0.8125

Explanation:

The probability to sell 5 or more DVDs in a day is the complement of the probability of selling less than 5 DVDs in a day, since sales <5 DVDs + sales >= 5 DVDs = 100% of the sales.

So, we know what's the probability of selling less than 5 DVDs in a day is... it's 0.1875

So, to find the possibility of selling 5 or more DVDs in a day, we take 100% of the chances (1.0) and we subtract the probability of selling <5 DVDs in a day:

P = 1.0 - 0.1875 = 0.8125

C. 0.8125 is your answer.
