    7 black shirts 5 white shirts 10 gray shirts one is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is not gray

    Find the total shirts:
    Total shirts = Black Shirts + White Shirts + Gray Shirts
    Total shirts = 7 + 5 + 10
    Total shirts = 22

    Calculate the probability of choosing a gray shirt:
    P(Gray) = Number of Gray shirts / Total Shirts
    P(Gray) = 10/22

    We can simplify this fraction. We type in 10/22 into our search engine, choose simplify, and we get:
    P(Gray) = 5/11
