Given:

Caps are available with a team name, mascot, or logo. They are either fitted or adjustable. The colors are either red or blue. All combinations are given.

Required:

Find the probability of getting a red cap with the team logo.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event is given by the formula:


P=\frac{Number\text{ of possible outcomes}}{Total\text{ number of outcomes}}

The total number of caps = 12

The possible number of the red caps with the team logo = 2

The probability of getting a red cap with the team logo:


\begin{gathered} P=(2)/(12) \\ P=(1)/(6) \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

The probability of getting a red cap with the team logo is 1/6.
