Question 1007126: Mark has pairs of pants in three different colors, blue, black, and brown. He has 5 colored shirts: a white, a red, a yellow, a blue, and a mixed-colored shirt. What is the probability that mark wears a black pairs of pants and a red shirt on a given day? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We multiply probabilities because the events are independent of each other.
Thus
P(black and red) = P(black)*P(red) = (1/3) * (1/5) = 1/15
