A) 0.02
B) 0.17***
C) 0.84
D) 0.92
hard to say, with no data to check.
To find the probability that Alex chooses a red shirt and running shoes, we need to know the total number of possible outfits and the number of outfits that meet the given criteria.
Let's assume that Alex has the following items of clothing with her:
- 3 shirts (red, blue, and green)
- 4 pairs of shoes (running, sandals, sneakers, and boots)
To find the total number of possible outfits, we multiply the number of options for each clothing item. In this case, it is:
Total number of outfits = Number of shirt options * Number of shoe options
Total number of outfits = 3 * 4 = 12
Now, let's determine the number of outfits where Alex chooses a red shirt and running shoes. Since there is only 1 red shirt and 1 pair of running shoes, the number of outfits meeting the criteria is:
Number of outfits with a red shirt and running shoes = 1 * 1 = 1
Finally, we can calculate the probability by dividing the number of outfits meeting the criteria by the total number of possible outfits:
Probability = Number of outfits with a red shirt and running shoes / Total number of outfits
Probability = 1 / 12
So, the probability that Alex chooses a red shirt and running shoes is 1/12, which equals approximately 0.08.
Based on the provided choices, none of the options match the correct probability of 1/12 (approximately 0.08).
