Answer:
0.25 = 25% probability of choosing white shoes and a green shirt
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this question:
The probability of choosing a shoe is independent of the shirt. So we find each separate probability, and then multiply them.
Probability of choosing white shoes:
2 shoes option, one of which is white. So
[tex]P(A) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Probability of choosing a green shirt:
2 shirts options, one of which is green. So
[tex]P(B) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
What is the probability of choosing white shoes and a green shirt?
[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
0.25 = 25% probability of choosing white shoes and a green shirt
