  • Example Fiona has two shirts and three pairs of pants that she can wear to her co-op placement. Suppose Richards randomly picks a shirt and a pair of pants. Identify the sample space. Fiona does not like to wear blue and green together, nor does she like orange and red together. What is the probability that she will pick a shirt and pants combo that she does not like? Fiona wants to decrease the probability of drawing a combination a combo she does not like. If Fiona buys another pairs or pants what color should she choose?
