A box contains a red shirt, a blue shirt, a black trouser, and a red trouser. What is the probation choosing the black trouser and the red shirt without replacement?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the result of the number of possible outcome divided by the number of total outcome.

Given that the box contains a red shirt, a blue shirt, a black trouser, and a red trouser, the number of total outcome is

= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

= 4

The possibility of picking;

a black trouser is

= 1/4

then a red (without replacement, the total outcome drops to 3)

= 1/3

Hence, the probation choosing the black trouser and the red shirt without replacement

= 1/4 * 1/3

= 1/12
