Question

A drawer is filled with 2 white shirts, 5 black shirts, and 3 gray shirts. One shirt is

chosen at random from the drawer. Find the probability that it is not a white shirt.

Answer 1

8/10. Add up the number of shirts and there is 10 shirts total. There are two white shirts so you would subtract 2 from 10 to get the non white shirts.

Answer 2

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step:

* There are 2 white shirts, 5 black shirts, and 3 gray shirts in the drawer.

* That's a total of 2 + 5 + 3 = 10 shirts.

* We want to find the probability that the chosen shirt is NOT white.

* So there are 5 + 3 = 8 shirts that are NOT white.

* Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total possible outcomes)

* So in this case, Probability = 8/10 = 4/5

Therefore, the probability that the chosen shirt is NOT white is 4/5.
