ANSWER:
Solution :
Step 1 of 4:
Our goal is:
We need to find the probability.
Given the top 5 countries for movie releases so far this year:
U.S. = 471 releases, United Kingdom = 386, Japan = 79, Germany = 316, and France = 132.
The total 5 countries :
= U.S.+United Kingdom+Japan+Germany+France
= 471+386+79+316+132
= 1384
Therefore, the total 5 countries is 1384.
a). The probability of European is
P(European) =
P(European) =
P(European) = 0.6026
Therefore, the probability of European is 0.6026.
