Question

A woman has 14 different shirts: 10 white shirts and 4 red shirts. If she randomly chooses 2 shirts to take with her on vacation, then what is the probability that she will choose two white shirts? Show your answer in fraction and percent, round to the nearest whole percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

1/5; 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

If she is only choosing 2 shirts, and they both have to be white, the probability of choosing those 2 white shirts out of 10 white shirts is 2/10 or, equivalently, 1/5.  In percent form, this is 20%
