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 that a white sock would be pulled from a drawer that has all white socks in it?
The probability is 1.
Josh has 4 shirts white blue green and red and 4 pairs of socks in the same colors. Josh grabs a shirt and a pair of socks without looking. What is the probability that his shirt and socks will match?
The probability that they are the same colour - which is not the same as them matching - is 1/4.
If a drawer contains 7 blue socks 4 white socks and 9 black socks what is the probability that the first sock will be white?
Well, if this drawer contains that amount of socks of each color, then you will have a 1:5 probability that the the first sock you draw will be white. 7+4+9=20 4(white)/20(in all) 1(white)/5(all) :D
Mason has 10 black 12 white and 3 brown pairs of socks in one drawer what is the probability that without looking Mason will pick a brown pair of socks?
P(B) = 0.12 = 12%There are 25 pair of socks: 10 Black, 12 White, 3 Brown.P(B) = 3/25 = 0.12 = 12.0%

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
Which shows the probability of choosing 2 blue socks from a drawer having 7 blue and 3 white socks?
The probability of randomly choosing 1 blue sock is 7/10. The probability of randomly choosing 2 blue socks in a row is 7/10 x 7/10 = 49/100.

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.
