Sagot :

Answer:

4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Given

Total outcome = 2blue ties+1red tie+2blue coats+2orange coats

Total outcome = 7

If he wears a blue tie, then the expected outcome will be 2.

Probability that he wears blue tie = 2/7

If he wears a blue coat, then the expected outcome will be 2.

Probability that he wears blue coat = 2/7.

The probability that he wears either a blue tie or a blue coat will be 2/7+2/7 = 4/7
