Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A laundry basket has 24 t-shirts in it. Four are Navy, 12 are red, and the rest is white. What is the probability of randomly selecting a red t-shirt

EXPLANATION

Total number of the t-shirt in the laundry basket = 24

Number of Navy t-shirt = 4

Number of red t- shirt = 12

The number of white t- shirt in the laundry basket can be calculated as follow;

Total number of t- shirt - (Number of Navy t-shirt + Number of red t- shirt)

Number of white t- shirt = 24 -(4+12)

Number of white t- shirt = 8

The probability of randomly selecting a red t-shirt = $Number of red t- shirt/Total number of the t-shirt$

$P(selecting a red t-shirt)=12/24$

$P(selecting a red t-shirt)=1/2$
