You choose two different movies on a list at random. Out of 15 movies on the list, 9 are action movies. The first movie you choose is an action movie. What is the probability that the second movie is also an action movie? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

the probability is 8/15 depending on whether the problem counts the drawing one out of the bag as one gone. Leaving the first one drawn, the probability would be 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

number of action movies/total number of movies= 9/15=3/5

3/5 is the probability of drawing an action movie from the bag. However, since you just drew one out, the fraction changes to 8/15.
