Question

alicia takes 4 white 2 red and 3 lue shirts on the trip. on the first day alicia will pick a shirt at random. what is the probability that she picks a red shirt?

Answer 1

The Probability of Alicia picking a red shirt is
`(2)/(9)`.

Explanation:

Given,

Number of White shirts = 4

Number of Red shirts = 2

Number of Blue shirts = 3

Solution,

Total number of shirts = Number of White shirts + Number of Red shirts + Number of Blue shirts =
`4+2+3=9`

`P(E)=(Total\ number\ of\ possible\ outcomes)/(Total\ number\ of\ outcomes)`

Therefore,

`P(of\ red\ shirts)=(2)/(9)`

Hence The Probability of Alicia picking a red shirt is
`(2)/(9)`.
