You're at a clothing store that dyes your clothes while you wait. You get to pick from 444 pieces of clothing (shirt, pants, socks, or hat) and 333 colors (purple, blue, or orange). If you randomly pick the piece of clothing and the color, what is the probability that you'll end up with an orange hat?

Answer:

Probability of orange hat = 0.0833

Explanation:

We have to find the probability of getting an orange hat while we randomly choose from 444 pieces of clothing and 333 colors.

So we have to get hat from the clothing and we have to get orange color from the colors. All shirts , pants , socks and hats are in equal numbers and are 111 each. Also purple, blue and orange are 111 each in number.

The probability of getting hats =

= 0.25

The probability of getting orange = = 0.333

Final probability = 0.25 0.333

= 0.0833
