Q139

A box has 6 black, 4 red, 2 white and 3 blue shirts. What is probability of picking at least 1 red shirt in 4 shirts that are randomly picked?

A.
B.
C.
Answer
D.

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Choosing 4 shirts means 1st shirt and 2nd and then 3rd and then 4th shirt
At least 1 red shirt means there can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 red shirts
So, Probability of choosing red = 1 - Probability of not choosing red
If we remove red shirts, then 15 - 4 red shirts = 11 shirts remain.
We have to choose 4 out of these 11
So Probability of choosing 4 shirts which are not red

∴ Probability of picking at least 1 red shirt
