a. 1/20
b. 1/8
c. 1/16
d. 1/12
the table :
scarf gloves hat __________________________ red black white white brown red brown red black
We should each breakdown the probability first for scarves, gloves and hat. Probability of choosing brown scarf = 1/4 Probability of choosing black gloves = 1/3 There may be no specification of the hat so it is still random, any color of the two hats is possible.
Multiply these probabilities together: 1/4 x 1/3 x 2 = 1/6
The probability of this combination of clothes together is 1/6
