Question

A laundry basket contains 8 white t-shirts and 6 black t-shirts. What is the probability of randomly picking a black t-shirt from the basket, and then another one without putting the first one back?

Answer 1

Answer:

30/182 = 15/91.

Step-by-step explanation:

PROBABILITY: the likelihood of an event.

There are a total of 14 shirts in the basket.

Of the 14, 8 (8/14) of them are white, and 6 (6/14) of them are black.

The probability of picking a black shirt is 6 in 14, or 6/14.

The probability of picking a white shirt is 8 in 14, or 8/14.

WITHOUT REPLACING: This means that you take one without putting it back. (There will be one less).

6/14 × 5/13 = 30/182.

30/182 = 15/91.
