Question

Maria has three red dresses, 2 white dresses, and one blue dress . what is the probability she will wear a blue dress at her party

Answer 1

Blue dresses / total dresses = 1/(3 + 2 + 1) = 1/6 <==

Answer 2

Answer:  The required probability that Maria will wear blue dress at her party is 16.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Maria has three red dresses, two white dresses and one blue dress.

We are to find the probability that Maria will wear a blue dress at her party.

Let S denotes the sample space of selecting a dress from the collection of Maria and A be the event that Maria wear blue dress at her party.

Then, we have

$n(S)=3+2+1=6,\\\\n(A)=1.$

Therefore, the probability of event A is given by

$P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{1}{6}\times100\%=16.67\%.$

Thus, the required probability that Maria will wear blue dress at her party is 16.67%.
