4 possibilities for the first letter to choose from S O C K.
Then there are 3 letters to choose from for the second letter.
Then there are 2 letters left to choose from for the third letter.
Then there will be only 1 remaining letter left for the last of the four positions.
So: We have 3 possibilities for the second letter for a total of 4 x 3 = 12 combinations.
With 2 possibilities for the third letter we get 12 x 2 or 4 x 3 x 2 = 24 possibilities.
Since there is only one letter left for the fourth position, it still is 4 x 3 x 2 x 1= 24 possibilities.
In mathematics we abbreviate 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 to 4! (4 followed by an exclamation mark) and call it 4 factorial.

What is the probability that a white sock would be pulled from a drawer that has all white sock in it?
100%. If there are only white socks in the drawer, then no other color will be drawn.
If your sock drawer has 6 black socks 4 brown socks 8 white socks and 2 tan socks how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?
The answer is 5 socks. There are only 4 different colored socks, so you could only grab a maximum of 4 socks before you would double up on colors. If you wanted to guarantee you had 2 of the same colored sock then you would need to grab 5 socks. wateva
How do you calculate the odds of something?
If there were 10 sock in a basket and 2 were red and 8 were blue then the odds of getting a red sock is 2/10 which can be simplified to 1/5. This means that if you picked a sock from the basket 5 times (each time throwing it back) you would most likely get 1 red sock and 4 blue socks. The odds of getting a blue sock is 8/10. This can be simplified to 4/5. Basically you take the total and put it as the denominator. Then you take the total number of the object (in this case the socks) and put it as the numerator. Got it? Hope this helped!! :)
