Nick has 3 shirts: a white one, a black one, and a blue one. He also has two pairs of pants, one blue and one tan. What is the probability, if Nick gets dressed in the dark, that he winds up wearing the white shirt and tan pants

Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation: if he has 3 shirts you multiply that by 2 which would make 6 and that would become the denominator and the white shirt matching out with the tan pants would be a probability of 1 as there are 6 different possibilities. The probability of 1 will also be the numerator
