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
A person has ten jumbled pairs of differently colored socks - if two socks are picked at random what is the probablility of getting a matching pair?
There are twenty individual socks. Suppose two socks, A and B, are picked out. Consider sock A. Only one of the other nineteen socks matches it. Thus the probablility that B completes the pair is 1/19.
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 there are 6 white socks and 6 black socks drawing one sock at a time how many socks must be selected to be assured to get a pair?
7 If you don't care which color you get, the minimum number falls to 3. Say you pick the first sock and it's black. If the second one is also black, you're done. If the second sock is white, then pick a third sock. If the third sock is black, it matches the first sock; if it's white it matches the second one. Either way, you have a pair.
In your drawer are 25 white socks and 25 red socks How many socks must you take out of the drawer before you get a matching pair?
In order to get a matching pair, you must take out a minimum of two and a maximum of three socks. Reasoning: The question does not specify a color for the pair of socks, it just asks for a pair of matching socks (same color). Hence, the first sock you pull will be either red or white, and the second sock you pull will also be either red or white. If the second sock matches the first one, you have a matching pair (reason for my "minimum of two"). If the second sock did not match the first sock, then you have one red and one white sock. The third sock you pull will also be either red or white and you will have a matching pair of either red or white socks (reason for my "maximum of three").
