    Probability- sport shirts
    Are these the correct answers?

    1. A large department store sells sport shirts in five sizes (small, medium, large, xlarge, & xxlarge), and three patterns (plaid, print, and stripe). The following table gives the sales count for a recent month.

    Country Plaid Print Stripe
    Small 15 7 7
    Medium 30 25 44
    Large 12 27 30
    XLarge 32 18 11
    XXLarge 18 7 17

    (a) (3) If a shirt is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is striped?
    7+44+30+11+17=109
    15+30+12+32+18+7+25+27+18+7+7+44+30+11+17=300
    109/300=0.3633
    (0.3633)(100)=36.33%
    (b) (3) If a shirt is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is xxlarge?
    18+7+17=42
    42/300= 0.14
    (0.14)(100)=14.00%
    (c) (3) If a shirt is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a small plaid?
    15/300=0.05
    (0.05)(100)=5.00%
    (d) (3) If a striped shirt is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a medium?
    7+44+30+11+17=109
    44/109=0.4037
    (0.4037)(100)=40.37%
    (e) (3) If a large shirt was randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a print?
    12+27+30=69
    27/69=0.3913
    (0.3913)(100)=39.13%
