The probability that Mark's little brother selects an outfit with a white shirt and gray slacks or an outfit with a black shirt will be [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
How to calculate the probability of an event?
Suppose that there are finite elementary events in the sample space of the considered experiment, and all are equally likely.
Then, suppose we want to find the probability of an event E.
Then, its probability is given as
[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text{Number of total cases}} = \dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)}[/tex]
Where favorable cases are those elementary events who belong to E, and total cases are the size of the sample space.
The probability of the white shirt and the gray slack is;
[tex]\rm P(A) = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
The probability of the outfit with the black shirt is;
[tex]\rm P(B) = \frac{F(S)}{T(S)} \\\\ \rm P(B) = \frac{5,6}{1,2,3,4,5,6)} \\\\ \rm P(B) ==\frac{2}{6} \\\\ P(B) = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
The probability that the no favorable outfit with the white shirt and black is;
P(A∩B)=0
The probability that Mark's little brother selects an outfit with a white shirt and gray slacks or an outfit with a black shirt is found by the formula;
P(A or B)= p(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)
P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)
[tex]\rm P(A \ U \ B)= \frac{1}{6}+\frac{2}{6} -0 \\\\\ P(A \ U \ B)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence, the probability that Mark's little brother selects an outfit with a white shirt and gray slacks or an outfit with a black shirt will be [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
