Question

A drawer is filled with 9 black shirts, 6 white shirts, and 5 gray shirts. One shirt is chosen at random from the drawer. Find the probability that it is not a white shirt.

Answer 1

Ok, I think this is the answer. 70% chance that it is Not a white shirt.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A drawer is filled with 9 black shirts, 6 white shirts, and 5 gray shirts.

Total shirts in the drawer = 9+6+5=20

Number of shirts that are not white = 20-6=14

Now, the if one shirt is chosen at random from the drawer. then the probability that it is not a white shirt will be :-

$\text{P(Not white)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of shirts not white}}{\text{Total shirts}}\\\\\=\dfrac{14}{20}=0.7$

Hence, the required probability = 0.7
