The University of Oregon’s football team has many different uniforms. The coach can choose from four colors of jerseys and pants: green, yellow, white, and black. There are three helmet options: green, white, and yellow. Also, there are the same four colors of socks and two colors of shoes, black and yellow. If the coach picks a jersey/pant combination at random, what is the probability he will pick a yellow jersey with green pants?
The coach has 4 options for the jersey color and 4 options for the pants color, so there are 4 x 4 = 16 possible combinations.
There is only 1 combination that has a yellow jersey with green pants, so the probability is 1/16 or 0.0625.
