Answer 1

To find the probability that the first song played is rap, divide the number of rap songs by the total number of songs in the playlist.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that the first song played is rap, we need to determine the total number of songs and the number of rap songs in the playlist. The total number of songs in the playlist is the sum of the categorized songs, which is 17+26+22+14+32=111. The number of rap songs is given as 0, so the probability of the first song played being rap is 0. Divide the number of rap songs (0) by the total number of songs (111) to get the desired probability, which is 0.
