Question

for her softball uniform, meredith has a green, white, or striped jersey. she also has white or green shorts. if meredith chooses a jersey and shorts randomly, what is the probability that she will go to softball practice in a striped jersey and green shorts?
\\( \frac { 5 } { 6 } \\)
\\( \frac { 1 } { 6 } \\)
1
\\( \frac { 1 } { 5 } \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find total jersey options

Jerseys: green, white, striped → 3 options.

Step2: Find total shorts options

Shorts: white, green → 2 options.

Step3: Calculate total uniform combinations

Total combinations = 3 (jerseys) × 2 (shorts) = 6.

Step4: Find favorable combination

Favorable: striped jersey + green shorts → 1 combination.

Step5: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Favorable}}{\text{Total}}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$ (corresponding to the option $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{6}}$)
