Question

24 points if someone gets it right

On Cher's shelf are the following movies and 2 adventure movies.

If Cher randomly picks one movie to watch, what is probability taht she selects is an adventure movie. Write your answer as a reduced fraction.

Answer 1

The probability of selecting an adventure movie is 2/x.

To calculate the probability, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (the number of adventure movies) and the total number of possible outcomes (the total number of movies on Cher's shelf).

Given that there are 2 adventure movies on Cher's shelf, and the total number of movies is not specified, we can represent the total number of movies as "x."

Therefore, the probability of selecting an adventure movie is:

Number of Adventure Movies / Total Number of Movies

= 2 / x

Since we don't have the specific value of "x," we cannot reduce the fraction further. The probability of selecting an adventure movie is 2/x.

Answer 2

1/6

Explanation:

Since Cher has a total of "10 movies + 2 adventure movies = 12 movies" on her shelf and only 2 of them are adventure movies, the probability of her selecting an adventure movie is:

2/12 = 1/6

Therefore, the probability that Cher selects an adventure movie is 1/6.
