Question

Maria has three red dresses, 2 white dresses, and one blue dress . What is the probability she will wear a blue dress at her party?

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

there are 6 dresses altogether and 1 blue dress.

Answer 2

`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

We have been given that Maria has three red dresses, 2 white dresses, and one blue dress. We are asked to find the probability that Maria will wear a blue dress at her party.

`\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}`

We know that number of blue dresses is 1, so number of favorable outcomes is 1.

Total dresses = 3 Red dresses + 2 White dresses + 1 Blue dress = 6 dresses.

`\text{Probability that Maria will wear a blue dress at her party}=(1)/(6)`

Therefore, our required probability is
`(1)/(6)`.
