Understand probability concept: Understand the concept of probability. The probability of an event is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.
Identify favorable outcomes: Identify the number of favorable outcomes.The number of action movies shown last year is given as 15. These are our favorable outcomes.
Identify total possible outcomes: Identify the total number of possible outcomes.The total number of movies shown last year is given as 108. These are our possible outcomes.
Calculate probability: Calculate the probability.The probability that the next movie is an action movie is the number of action movies divided by the total number of movies.Probability = Number of action movies / Total number of movies = 10815
Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction if possible.The fraction 10815 cannot be simplified further as 15 and 108 have no common factors other than 1.
Match with given options: Match the calculated probability with the given options.The calculated probability is 10815, which matches option (C).
