Question

Micheal has 4 red shirts, 3 green shirts, and 5 blue shirts in his closet. If he randomly selects a shirt, what is the probability he chooses green or red.

a) 1/3
b) 1/4
c) 5/12
d) 7/12

Answer 1

D. 7/12

Explanation:

First, find the total number of shirts in his closet:

4 + 3 + 5

= 12

Now, find how many are green or red:

4 + 3

= 7

Since 7 out of 12 shirts are green or red, the probability that Micheal chooses green or red is D. 7/12
