Question

for a few weeks, a music producer kept track of newly released songs on a music streaming website. he recorded the music genre and number of times the song was played on its release date.
what is the probability that a randomly selected song had 501 - 1,000 plays and was rock?
simplify any fractions.

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of songs

Add up all the values in the table. Total number of songs = 7 + 5+ 3+ 5=20.

Step2: Identify number of favorable outcomes

The number of rock - songs with 501 - 1000 plays is 3.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So, $P=\frac{3}{20}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{20}$
