Mammu has 16 pairs of white socks and 16 pairs of brown socks she kept all socks in same drawer she picks out 3 socks at random what is the probability she will get a matching pair?
100% She will either have at least two brown socks or two white socks in any scenario.
If there are 10 white socks and 10 black socks what is the probability to pick a white sock?
50% from both so its half!
Which shows the probability of choosing 2 white socks from a drawer having 6 white 3 black socks 3 brown socks and 8 gray socks?
I assume you are selecting two socks (one at a time) from the drawer to wear (for example). There are 6 white + 3 black + 3 brown + 8 gray = 20 socks in all So the probability that the first sock chosen to be white is 6/20 since there are 6 socks and 20 socks in total. 6/20 reduces down to 3/10. The probability that the second sock chosen is also white is 5/19 since there are now only 5 white socks left to be chosen and 19 socks in total (since one sock has been taken out). Thus the probability of both socks being white is: probability = 3/10 x 5/19 = 3/38
What if your sock drawer contains 25 red socks and 25 blue socks and 25 white socks what is the fewest number of socks you must take out to be sure to have a matching pair?
4!
If a drawer contains 10 black socks 12 gray socks and 7 white socks what is the probability the first 2 socks will be black?
(10/29)(9/28)= 0.110837438 or about 11.1%
