do you have choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nno choices

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here the probability to have a whithe shirt is: 1/4 since there is one favorable case and four possible cases

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

whereas the probability to have a tan pants is: 1/2 since there is one favorable case and 2 possible cases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the probability of a white shirt is 1/4 and the probability of tan pants is 1/2?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):
