Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

there is two way of solution:

1) The required probability is P=(number_of_required_colour) / (total_number_of_the_colours).

P=1/3.

2) The details of the longer way is shown in the attached picture (all the possible combinations are in the table).

P=(number_of_cases_with_red_shirt) / (number_of_all_cases);

P=4/12=1/3.
