Kevin has these shirts in his closet.
• 3 blue shirts
• 5 red shirts
• 3 purple shirts
• 4 white shirts
Kevin will randomly choose one shirt, not put it back and then choose another shirt. What is the probability that he will choose a red shirt and then a white shirt?


Sagot :

Since there are a total of 15 shirts,

5 red shirts+4 white shirts= 9 shirts total

3 blue shirts+3 purple shirts= 6 shirts total

The odds that you would pick a red shirt and then a white are 3:2

3 being the 9 red and white shirts combined.

2 being the 6 purple and blue shirts combined.

9:6 simplified=3:2

9/3=3

6/3=2

3:2

Answer: The odds that you would pick a red shirt then a white shirt would be 3:2 or 60%
