Question

Andy randomly selects an outfit to go to school. He can choose from 4 shirts: blue stripes, red stripes, black or white stripes. He can choose from 3 pairs of shorts: brown, blue or plaid.

Answer 1

B and D

Explanation:

The probability that Andy chooses a striped shirt and a pair of blue shorts is:

`(3)/(4) * (1)/(3) = (3)/(12) = (1)/(4)`

The probability that Andy chooses a striped shirt and pair of tan or plaid shorts is:

`(3)/(4) * ((1)/(3) + (1)/(3)) = (6)/(12) = (1)/(2)`
