Question

You choose two different movies on a list at random. Out of 10 movies on the list, 6 are action movies. The first movie you choose is an action movie. What is the probability that the second movie is also an action movie? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

5/9

Explanation:

You have 10 movies in total. You take 1 out of 6 action movies. Now you have 5 action movies left, so that means the probability is 5/9. It's 5/9 because you chose 1 action movie out of 10 movies in total, so that means there are 9 movies in total left.
