Question

The yearbook club is handling out t-shirts to its members. There are 5 blue, 7 green, 9 red, and 4 yellow t-shirts in all. If Jacob is handled a t-shirt what is the probability that the color is red

Answer 1

0.36 is the probability that Jacob is given a red t-shirt.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of blue t-shirt = 5

Number of green t-shirt = 7

Number of red t-shirt = 9

Number of yellow t-shirt = 4

Total number of t-shirts =

`=5+7+9+4\\=25`

Formula fot probability:

`\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}`

P(Red) =

`=\frac{\text{Number of red t-shirt}}{\text{Total number of t-shirt}}\\\\=(9)/(25)=0.36`

Thus, 0.36 is the probability that Jacob is given a red t-shirt.
