Answer: Probability that the next donation is not a pair of gloves is 0.54.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of coats = 5
Number of pairs of gloves = 23
Number of scarves = 19
Number of hats = 3
Total number of winter clothing is given by
[tex]5+23+19+3=50[/tex]
Probability that the next donation is not a pair of gloves is given by
Not gloves = 50-23=27
P(not gloves ) is given by
[tex]=\frac{Not\ gloves}{total}\\\\=\frac{27}{50}\\\\=0.54[/tex]
Hence, Probability that the next donation is not a pair of gloves is 0.54.
