Kendall surveyed the students at her school to find out if they like horror movies and/or animated movies. The table below shows the results of the survey:

If a student likes horror movies, what is the probability that student also likes animated movies?

27.2%
48.8%
71.8%
94.9%

Answer 1

The answer is A)27.2%

Answer 2

Answer: 27.2%

Explanation:

Formula for probability :

`\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}`

To find : If a student likes horror movies, what is the probability that student also likes animated movies.

• The total number student likes horror movies. (Total outcomes)
• The number of student likes horror movies and animated movies. (favorable outcomes)

From the given table,

Total outcomes: Number student likes horror movies= 77

Favorable outcomes : Number student likes horror movies and animated movies = 21

Then , the required probability will be :-

`\text{P(Animated }|\text{Horror})=(21)/(77)=0.272727\approx27.2\%`

Hence, the probability that student also likes animated movies=27.2%
