Answer 1

The probability P that she selects a romance movie at random fromthe shelf is;

`P=(3)/(8)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

On Dora's shelf are the following movies:

Adventure movies ---- 4

drama movies ----------6

romance movies-------6

Total number of movies = 4+6+6=16

So, the probability P that she selects a romance movie at random fromthe shelf is;

`\begin{gathered} P=\frac{\text{ number of romance movies}}{\text{Total number of movies}} \\ P=(6)/(16) \\ P=(3)/(8) \end{gathered}`

In reduced fraction, The probability P that she selects a romance movie at random fromthe shelf is;

`P=(3)/(8)`
