Question

Martina is going to watch a movie in her collection. She has 10 action movies, 5 comedies, and 8 dramas.

She will randomly select one movie. What is the probability that the movie she selects is not a drama?
Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

15/23

Explanation:

In total, Martina has a collection of 10 + 5 + 8 = 23 movies. 23 is the total number of outcomes, so that shall be the denominator. Now, she has 10 + 5 = 15 movies that aren't drama. Since this is the number we're counting, this will be the numerator. The probability as a fraction, thus, will be 15/23.
