To find the probability, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of outcomes that satisfy the given condition.
Total number of possible outcomes = 3 (Tamara has 3 pairs of gloves to choose from)
Number of outcomes that satisfy the condition = 1 (Tamara has only one pair of brown gloves and only one red hat)
Therefore, the probability of Tamara choosing a pair of brown gloves and a red hat is:
1/3 or approximately 0.33 or 33.3%
Tamara likes to mix and match her 4 scarves, 3 pairs of gloves, and 2 hats. The colors are in the table. On Monday, she randomly picks out a pair of gloves. What is the probability of Tamara choosing a pair of brown gloves and a red hat?
scarf | gloves | hat
red | black | white
White| brown | red
Brown| red |
black
