Probability of picking purple sock first time is 6/10 or 3/5, second time, probability is 5/9. Thus 3/5 * 5/9 = 15/45 which cancels to 1/3
The probability of picking an 's' in the word Mississippi is 100% - you will always find one ... eventually. However if you mean with single choice from the 11 characters of the word Mississippi, then the probability is 4 chances in 11 which is just over 36% or a probability of 0.363636 recurring. My odd answer illustrates the need to pose questions without ambiguity. Beano GB
If you pick 37 cards without replacement, or pick a card from the bottom of a mint deck, the probability is 1: it is a certainty. If you pick a random card from a deck, then the probability is 4/13.
The answer depends on how many cards are picked. It is 1 if you pick 49 cards without replacement. If only one card is picked at random, the probability is 1/13.
Once you have picked the first ball, you will have five left to pick from, one of which will be the same color as the first pick, and four of colors that you don't want. The probability of picking the second ball of the same color is then 1/5 or 0.20. P.S. It really isn't fair to have someone else do your homework for you.

whats the probability that three times in a row without looking i can pick out an outmeal cookie without replacing them?

Probability can be expressed as a ratio, a fraction, or a decimal. For example if there are 4 red balls and 4 white balls in a bucket and you pick one without looking the probability (chance) that you will pick a red ball is a half, because half the balls are that colour. You can say that the probability of that happening is 1/2 or 50% or 0.5 The probability is the same for choosing a white ball. * * * * * There is a fourth way, and that is in the form of odds.
It is incalculable.
The probability of picking the #1 marble on the first draw is 1/12. If you've done that, then the probability of picking the #2 marble on the second draw is 1/11. If you've done that, then, the probability of picking the #3 marble on the third draw is 1/10. If you've done that, then, the probability of picking the #4 marble on the fourth draw is 1/11. etc. etc. So the probability of doing all of them in sequence is (1/12) x (1/11) x . . . x (1/1). That's exactly the reciprocal of (12!). According to my $1.49 calculator, your chances of success without peeking amount to about 0.00000020877 percent (rounded) Not a smart bet.
7/15 for blue marbles and 8/14 for the purple marbles this is dependent probability

The probability of picking ABC, in that order, from 5 A's, 3 B's, and 2 C's, without replacement, is (5 in 10) times (3 in 9) times (2 in 8), or 30 in 720, or 3 in 72, or 1 in 24.
An example would be picking blocks out of a bag. 5 yellow 3 red 2 purple Pick one without looking, and that would be picking one at random.
