Question

A laundry basket has 30 t-shirts in it. The basket has 15 red shirts, 5 blue shirts and the rest are white. What is the probability of randomly selecting a blue shirt?

Answer 1

5/30 = 1/6

Explanation:

We have the following information available in this question

Total t shirts I. This laundry basket = 30

15 t shirts = red

5 tshirts = blue

Then white t-shirts would be = 30-(5+15)

= 20

The probability of picking blue t shirt =

Total number of blue t-shirt divided by total number of t shirts

= 5/30

= 1/6 when reduced further as a fraction
