Question

Maya is going to watch a movie in her collection. She has 3 action movies, 11 comedies, and 9 dramas. She will randomly select one movie. What is the probability that the movie she selects is not a comedy?

Answer 1

The probability is 12/23

Explanation:

We calculate the number of movies in her selection

Mathematically, that will be;

3 + 11 + 9 = 23

The number of movies that are not comedy will be;

3 + 9 = 12

So the probability of selecting a movie that is not comedy will be 12/23
