You are packing clothes for vacation and don’t want to take any button down shirts. You randomly choose three shirts from a jar containing three T-shirts, three polo shirts, and four button downs.

a) what is the probability that the first three shirts are button downs when you replace each shirt before choosing the next one?
b) what is the probability that the first three shirts are button downs when you do not replace each shirt before choosing the next one?

a) Because each pick is independent (we pick and then replace), we just have to find the probability of picking it out once, then cube that. This probability is 4/(3+3+4)=2/5. So, it is 8/125.

b) If we replace it, then we can do it in a strategic way:

The probability of picking it out the first time is 2/5. Now, there are 3 button downs and 9 shirts total.

The second time: 3/9=1/3

Now there are 2 and 8

Third time: 2/8=1/4.

The final probability is 2/5*1/3*1/4=1/30

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.

just take the area of the square and then the area of the circle then subtract the circle area from the squares area
