Question

It is random outfit day. You have 3 tops: green, white, and yellow. You have 2 pairs of pants: blue and black. You have 2 pairs of shoes: boots and sandals. What is the probability that you will wear a green shirt with blue pants and boots

Answer 1

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome.

Given  that you have 3 tops: green, white, and yellow, the probability of you wearing  a green shirt p(g)

= 1/3

since you have 2 pairs of pants: blue and black, the probability of you wearing a blue pant p(b)

= 1/2

And you have 2 pairs of shoes: boots and sandals, the probability of you wearing a pair of boots p(bo)

= 1/2

Hence the probability that you will wear a green shirt with blue pants and boots

= 1/3 * 1/2 * 1/2

= 1/12
