Of the 50 plays attributed to a​ playwright, 18 are​ comedies, 13 are​ tragedies, and 19 are histories. If one play is selected at​ random, find the odds against selecting a tragedy or a comedy.

Sagot :

Answer:

Given:

50 plays

31/50 are comedies or tragedies

19/50 are histories.

If one is selected at random,

the chances decrease dramatically,

so :

19/50 * 19/50 = 361/2500 = .1444

Less than .2 percent.
