Question

You are going to a movie, and your friend says it is showing some time on the weekend between noon and 8, but won't say when, exactly.What are the chances itis playing on Sunday between 6 and 8?

Answer 1

7/8

Explanation:

Because it is 8 hours combined (noon to 8) 8 will be the denominator and since it is 3 hours (6 to 8) 3 is the numerator. Keep that aside.

Since there are 2 days in a weekend 2 will be the denominator and since it is on Sunday 1 will be the numerator.

So 3/8 + 1/2 = 7/8

Answer 2

The chances are 1/6 because 6-8 is 1/6 of the possible timings.
