There were 6 purple socks and 4 orange socks in a drawer Zucky picked one sock without looking and then another without looking replacing the first what is the probability that he picked 2 purple?
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
What is the probability of picking an s in the word Mississippi?
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
What is the probability of picking an ace or picture card from a deck of cards?
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.
What is the probability of picking a 5 from a standard deck of 52 cards?
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.
If you have a box with 2 red 2 green and 2 white balls without looking What is the probability of getting two balls of the same color?
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.

What are the three ways that probability can be expressed?
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.
What is the probability of chossing 12 marbles from a jar in numercial order?
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.
