Answer 1

4/13

Explanation:

To find the probability of Janet choosing a red shirt, you can use the following formula:

Probability= Number of Favorable Outcomes/Total Number of Possible Outcomes

or P=F/O

In this case:

The number of favorable outcomes (red shirts) is 8.

The total number of possible outcomes (all shirts) is the sum of the different colors: 26

5+8+3+2+8=26.

Now, plug these values into the formula:

Probability of choosing a red shirt

8/26

Probability of choosing a red shirt

Simplify the fraction if possible:

Probability=4/13

So, the probability that Janet chooses a red shirt is 4/13
