Answer:

2/9

Explanation:

The question is incomplete without the number of orange T-shirts and the number of each coloured shirt.

We can tell from the question, we are to determine the probability of picking an orange T-shirt out of the other available colours of T-shirt.

Let's determine how to find that using the question below:

In a drawer of T-shirts 8 are blue, 6 are green and 4 are orange. If simon randomly selects a T-shirt to wear, what is the probability it will be orange?

Solution:

blue T-shirt = 8

green T-shirt = 6

orange T-shirt = 4

Total number of shirts = 8+6+4 = 18 T-shirts

Pr (orange T-shirt) = (number of orange T-shirt)/(total number of T-shirt)

Pr (orange T-shirt) = 4/18

Where Pr = probability

Pr (orange T-shirt) = 2/9

The probability it will be orange = 2/9
