Question

. Elvira has 3 caps: one red, one green,

and one blue. She also has two green T-shirts, one blue T-shirt
and 3 black T-shirts. Elvira considers it a faux pas to ever be seen wearing blue and green at the same
time. What is the probability that Elvira will commit a fashion faux pas, if she randomly reaches into
her dresser and selects a cap and a T-shirt?


Please help me

Answer 1

• 1/6

Explanation:

There are 3 caps and 6 T-shirts

Probability of blue cap and green T-shirt is:

• 1/3*2/6 = 1/3*1/3 = 1/9

Probability of green cap and blue T-shirt is:

• 1/3*1/6 = 1/18

Probability of fashion faux:

• 1/9 + 1/18 = 3/18 = 1/6
