Answer:
5 green jackets + 9 blue jackets + 10 red jackets + 1 green shoes + 1 blue shoes + 1 red shoes = 27 total items
[tex]\frac{5 + 10}{27}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15}{27}[/tex] chances or 55.556%
"what is the probability of pick up the red jacket or green jacket?"
Since the problem requires either red or green jacket to be picked up, we can say that we have a higher chance to get a favorable outcome. Therefore, the operation we should use is addition; adding red and green jackets over unfavorable outcomes; which are the 9 blue jackets and the pairs of shoes. Hope it helps
