The probability of randomly selecting a red shirt is 50%.

Explanation:

To figure this out, separate the total number of shirts into fractions based on the color. So for example, it would look something like this: Navy shirts are 4/24, Red shirts are 12/24, and White shirts are 8/24. The probability for each of the colors would be; Navy-16.666 percent, Red-50 percent, White-33.333 percent. Since we are only looking for the probability of selecting a Red shirt, the probability would be 50%.
