Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Maria has three red dresses, 2 white dresses, and one blue dress. We are asked to find the probability that Maria will wear a blue dress at her party.

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$

We know that number of blue dresses is 1, so number of favorable outcomes is 1.

Total dresses = 3 Red dresses + 2 White dresses + 1 Blue dress = 6 dresses.

$\text{Probability that Maria will wear a blue dress at her party}=\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, our required probability is $\frac{1}{6}$.
