Question

Hayden reaches into his dresser and pulls out a red shirt, but does not like it and throws in onto the bed. What is the chance that the next shirt he pulls out of the dresser will be Purple?

A. 2/10
B. 4 in 10 chance
C. 4 in 9 chance
D. 1/9 chance

Answer 1

how many of each color are in the dresser?

Explanation:

Answer 2

So assuming there are 10 shirts total, (since it wasn’t specified) and one red is taken out, there would be 9 shirts left. And out of that, the information needed is the indication of how many purple shirts there is, so if there’s one purple shirt, it’s D, if there’s 4, it’s C. Does that make sense?
