Round your answer to the nearest thousandth. For example: 0.500 or 0.999

Answer 1

Answer:  0.432

======================================================

Explanation:

There are 8+11 = 19 movies that are either horror or mystery.

This is out of 9+12+8+11+4 = 44 movies total.

Divide the two sums to get 19/44 = 0.43181818181818 approximately.

This rounds to 0.432

There's roughly a 43.2% chance of picking a horror or mystery movie.
