Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A \dfrac{15}{93} 93 15 ​ start fraction, 15, divided by, 93, end fraction (Choice B) B \dfrac{15}{108} 108 15 ​ start fraction, 15, divided by, 108, end fraction (Choice C) C \dfrac{93}{108} 108 93 ​ start fraction, 93, divided by, 108, end fraction (Choice D) D \dfrac{108}{93} 93 108 ​

Answer 1

Option B.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Last year the total number of movies = 108

Number of action movies = 15

Based on this data, we need to find a reasonable estimate of the probability that the next movie is an action movie.

So, the required probability is:

`\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of action movies}}{\text{Total number of movies}}`

`\text{Probability}=(15)/(108)`

Hence, the correct option is B.
