Question

Tony is going to watch a movie in his collection. He has 5 action movies, 4 comedies, and 3 dramas.

He will randomly select one movie. What is the probability that the movie he selects is not a drama?

Answer 1

9/12 (75%)

Explanation:

There's a total of 12 movies (5+4+3).

Since there are 5 action, there's a 5/12 probability that he selects action.

4 comedies, so 4/12 probability that he selects comedies.

3 dramas, so 3/12 probability that he selects drama.

4+5 = 9 so there's a 9/12 or 75% probability that he won't select drama.

Answer 2

probability 9/12 or 3/4
