A drawer contains unmatched socks. There are 7 black, 4 blue, and 5 white. What is the probability that you will select a white sock, not replace it, and then draw another white sock without looking?
0.10=10%
0.098=9.8%
0.078=7.8%
0.08.=8.3%

Respuesta :

The probability that you will select a white sock, not replace it, and then draw another white sock without looking is 2/21

What probability?

This is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur

Pr = Expecte/Total outcome

If there are 7 black, 4 blue, and 5 white in the drawer, the total outcome will be 15 socks

Pr(white socks) = 5/15 = 1/3

Pr(picking another) = 4/14 = 2/7

Pr(picking both socks) = 1/3 * 2/7

Pr(picking both socks) = 2/21

Hence  the probability that you will select a white sock, not replace it, and then draw another white sock without looking is 2/21
