Answer: D: 14.29%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Total movies = 7
Categories: Comedy = 2, Action = 3 ,horror = 2
Probability that first one is horror = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of horror movies}}{\text{Total movies}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{2}{7}[/tex]
Remaining DVDs =6
Probability that first one is horror and the second one is action = [tex]\dfrac{2}{7}\times \dfrac{\text{Number of action movies}}{\text{remaining movies}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac27\times\dfrac{3}{6}=\dfrac{1}{7}[/tex]
In percent, [tex]\dfrac{1}{7}\times100\%=14.29\%[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is D: 14.29% .
