color tie?

The probability of not choosing the solid color tie by David's Wife will

be $\frac{2}{3}$.

What is Probability?

Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event.

• Number of solid Color ties= 4
• Number of cartoon ties= 3
• Number of stripped ties= 5

Total Number of ties= 4+3+5 =12

Probability of not choosing the solid color tie

=$\frac{Total\; ties- \; Number\; of \;Solid\; ties}{Total\; number \;of \;ties}$

=$\frac{12-4}{12}$

= $\frac{8}{12}$

=$\frac{2}{3}$
