Answer: Probability that the next donation is not a pair of gloves is 0.54.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coats = 5

Number of pairs of gloves = 23

Number of scarves = 19

Number of hats = 3

Total number of winter clothing is given by


5+23+19+3=50

Probability that the next donation is not a pair of gloves is given by

Not gloves = 50-23=27

P(not gloves ) is given by


=(Not\ gloves)/(total)\\\\=(27)/(50)\\\\=0.54

Hence, Probability that the next donation is not a pair of gloves is 0.54.
