Question

What is the probability of picking a pair of red socks from a box that contains 6 red and 7 blue socks?

Answer 1

Total socks in bag= 6 red and 7 blue socks

Therefore, total pair in bag= 3 red and 3&1/2

blue pair

=3 red and 3.5

blue pair

=(3+3.5) pair

=6.5 pair

Also, favourable outcomes = 3 pair

Therefore, P(E)= no. Favourable outcomes/

Total no. of outcomes

=3/6.5

= 0.46
