Your friend has seven sweatshirts. Two sweatshirts are green, two are white, and three are blue oyu forgot your sweatshirt, so your friend is going to bring one for you as well as one for himself. What is the probability that your friend will bring two blue sweatshirts?

Possible alternate answer (with regards to common sense).
It is unlikely that the friend will select sweatshirts randomly. Because usually people dislike wearing similar clothes, most likely the friend will choose sweatshirts of different colors. So, we can conclude that the probability is zero or close to zero.

Very poorly worded problem. What is the blue are at the cleaners? Does your friend see all the sweaters? Does your friend like blue?02/18/22
