A man kept 6 black, 5 brown and 7 purple shirts in a drawer. What is the probability of his picking a purple shirt with his eyes closed?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. There are 6+5+7=186 + 5 + 7 = 18 shirts, each equally likely.
  2. 7 of them are purple, so the probability is 718\frac{7}{18}, option C.
