Question

A movie rental kiosk has the following options to select from.

Genre: action, romance, comedy, horror, drama

Duration: less than 90 minutes, 90 minutes120 minutes, more than 120 minutes

If employees restock the kiosk by randomly adding movies into it, what is the probability that the next movie added is an action movie that is longer than 120 minutes?

Answer 1

1/20

Explanation:

To calculate how many potential combinations of genre and duration, we multiply the number of options in each category.

5 genres * 4 durations = 20 combinations

So for each film placed, there is a 1 in 20 chance that it will be a specific combination.
