You have 4 different colored t-shirt (white, blue, red, and yellow) and 3 different colored

pants (blue, grey, and khaki). If you selected your t-shirt and pants at random, what is the
probability you would have blue in your outfit?

Answer:

1 /4 x 1/3 = 1/12

Explanation:

The odds of pulling blue get lowered simply as there are larger random sample.

This is a way to ask about sample data even though this is probability question.

Why do we get a clearer picture with sample data the answer is we have a wider choice and lower odd as random occurs.There are more than 7 outcomes there are 12 outcomes for a b c d.

a 1 2 3

b 1 2 3

c 1 2 3

d 1 2 3

abcd = 12
