Brian likes to wear colored shirts. He has 10 shirts in the closet. Three of these are blue, four are in different shades of red, and the rest are of mixed or different colors. What is the probability that he will wear a blue or a red shirt

Answer»

ong>Answer:

7/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of Shirts = 10. (Total no. of possible outcomes)

Number of Blue shirts = 3.

Number of Red shirts = 4.

Total number of Red and Blue Shirts = 3+4 = 7. (Total no. of FAVOURABLE outcomes)

Equation for Probability:

Probability of an EVENT, P(E) = (Total no. of favourable outcomes) ÷ (Total no. of possible outcomes)

Substituting the given values, we GET,

P(He will wear a blue or red shirt) = 7/10.

Therefore,

The probability that he will wear a blue or a red shirt is 7/10.
