Question

The power goes out as Sandra is trying to get dressed, If she has 4 white T-shirts and 10 colored T-shirts in her drawer, is it likely that she will pick a colored T-shirt in the dark? What is the probability she will pick a colored T-shirt? Explain your answers.

Answer 1

Because she has more colored T-shirts than white T-shirts, it is likely she will pick a colored T-shirt.

P(colored T-shirt) =

number of colored T-shirts

total number of T-shirts

19

19 + 1

19/20

The probability of Sandra picking a colored T-shirt is

19/20

.

Step-by-step explanation: Just to let everyone know it is the one with 19, not 4/10

Answer 2

Yes it is likely that she will get a colored T-shirt because the probability of getting a colored T-shirt is 10/14 and the probability of getting a white T-shirt is 4/10. :) welcome
