Charlie is going to watch a movie in his collection. He has 3 action movies, 4 comedies, and 5 dramas. He will randomly select one movie. What is the probability that the movie he selects is not a comedy?

I don’t know if your teacher wants it in fraction form but the answer in fraction form would be 8/12. Because it’s asking for the probability of selecting a non-comedy movie, we only focus on the action and drama movies. We add them up, that gives us 8, and put it over the total number of movies (12). That’s how I got 8/12. If you have any questions comment on my answer so I can see it. Have a nice day!
