Answer:

2/25

Step-by-step explanation:

so first u have to add them all up to get 25 because 8 +15+2=25. then, since there are 2 westerns, the probability that he will select a western is 2 out of 25

Answer: 2/25

Step-by-step explanation:

There are A = 2 westerns out of B = 8+15+2 = 25 movies total

The probability of selecting a western is A/B = 2/25

In decimal form, this is 2/25 = 0.08 which converts to 8%
