Answer:

[tex]P(Red) = 0.125[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Red: 150[/tex]

[tex]White: 450[/tex]

[tex]Green: 225[/tex]

[tex]Blue: 375[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability of getting a red chair, next.

First, we nee the total number of chairs

[tex]Total = 150 + 450 + 225 + 375[/tex]

[tex]Total = 1200[/tex]

Probability of getting red is then calculated as thus;

[tex]P(Red) = Red/Total[/tex]

[tex]P(Red) = 150/1200[/tex]

[tex]P(Red) = 0.125[/tex]
