\n" ); document.write( "10 comedies. She decides she’s not interested in some of the movies anymore so
\n" ); document.write( "she removes 8 of them, 2 of which are dramas. If she picks a movie at random
\n" ); document.write( "from the remaining list, what is the probability that she will pick a comedy?
 \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Instead of doing it for you, I'll change the numbers, and explain how I got the answer,  \r\n" );
document.write( "then you can  do the same with your numbers.\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "Shonda is picking a movie to watch from her streaming queue of 26 dramas and
\n" ); document.write( "17 comedies. She decides she’s not interested in some of the movies anymore so
\n" ); document.write( "she removes 11 of them, 6 of which are dramas. If she picks a movie at random
\n" ); document.write( "from the remaining list, what is the probability that she will pick a comedy?
\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Shonda is picking a movie to watch from her streaming queue of 26 dramas and\r\n" );
document.write( "17 comedies. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So she has 26+17= 43 movies\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "She decides she’s not interested in some of the movies anymore so\r\n" );
document.write( "she removes 11 of them, 6 of which are dramas. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So she removes 6 dramas as well as 11-6=5 comedies.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now there are only 26-6=20 dramas and 17 comedies. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So she now has 5+17=22 movies.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If she picks a movie at random\r\n" );
document.write( "from the remaining list, what is the probability that she will pick a comedy?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "There are 17 ways she can successfully pick a comedy out of the 22 movies.\r\n" );
document.write( "So the probability is 17/22.  That does not reduce, so the answer is 17/22.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now do your problem the same way.\r\n" );
