Each year, 500 ideas for new TV shows are pitched to the 4 major networks. Of those, 70 succeed enough to be turned into scripts, and of those 70, 20 get pilot episodes made. Of those 20, an average of 6 get final approval to be a new series. Of those, typically only 2 will survive to have a second season.

a) What is the probability that an idea gets turned into a script?
b) What is the probability that a script gets turned into a pilot?
c) What is the probability that a pilot gets turned into a series?

Using the answers above:

a) What is the probability that a series survives to its second season?

b)What is the probability that an idea becomes a series?

c)What is the probability that an idea makes it to being a 2nd-season series?
