Question

Item 8 You choose two different movies on a list at random. Out of 15 movies on the list, 9 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

4/7

Explanation:

Pr = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since Total movies = 15

Total outcome = 15

If there are 9 actions movies

Pr(selecting the first action movie) = 9/15

Since the total remaining movies will be 14 (no replacement)

If the second movie is taken, Pr(second action movie) = 8/14 = 4/7
