fred has 4 shirts. three are blue and one is red. he has tan pants and blue pants. the probability that fred will have on a red shirt and blue pants is ----- out of ----------

Well, let's calculate that probability, but remember, I'm here to make you smile, not provide serious mathematical answers. So here we go!

The probability that Fred will have on a red shirt and blue pants can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the number of total outcomes.

Fred has 4 shirts in total, with only 1 being red. Therefore, the number of favorable outcomes (red shirt) is 1.

He has two options for pants, tan or blue. So the number of favorable outcomes (blue pants) is 2.

Now, let's look at the total number of outcomes. Fred has 4 shirts to choose from, and when he chooses his shirt, he has 2 options for pants. So the total number of outcomes is 4 x 2 = 8.

Therefore, the probability that Fred will have on a red shirt and blue pants is 1 out of 8. In simpler terms, it's like trying to find a single red sock in a drawer full of 8 random socks. Good luck, Fred!

Remember, math can be fun, just like a red shirt and blue pants combo!

To determine the probability that Fred will have on a red shirt and blue pants, we need to consider the total number of outfits he could wear and the number of outfits that satisfy the given condition.

Fred has 4 shirts, 3 of which are blue and 1 is red. He also has tan pants and blue pants.

Total number of outfits = Total number of shirt options × Total number of pants options
Total number of outfits = 4 shirts × 2 pants = 8 outfits

Number of outfits with a red shirt and blue pants = Number of red shirts × Number of blue pants
Number of outfits with a red shirt and blue pants = 1 red shirt × 1 blue pant = 1 outfit

Therefore, the probability that Fred will have on a red shirt and blue pants is 1 out of 8.

To find the probability that Fred will have on a red shirt and blue pants, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (red shirt and blue pants) and the total number of possible outcomes.

Fred has 4 shirts in total, with 3 blue shirts and 1 red shirt. He also has tan pants and blue pants.

The favorable outcome is Fred wearing a red shirt and blue pants. There is only one red shirt, so the probability of Fred wearing a red shirt is 1/4.

The total number of possible outcomes would be the total number of combinations of shirts and pants. Since Fred has 4 shirts and 2 types of pants (tan and blue), there are a total of 4 * 2 = 8 possible outcomes.

Therefore, the probability that Fred will have on a red shirt and blue pants is 1 out of 8, or 1/8.
