Question

Black 12
Beige 6
Blue 9
Gray 3
White 10
If Daniel draws two socks from the top drawer in the dark, what is the theoretical probability that Daniel draws two gray socks?
3/800

Answer 1

Total number of socks = 12 + 6 + 9 + 3 + 10 = 40
Number of grey socks = 3
We'll multiply the probabilities to find the answer in this case.


\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow {3 \over 40} * {3 \over 40} }\)

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow {9 \over 1600} }\)

Answer 2

i got half of that guess im always close to figuring it out but never get there thx

Answer 3

That only works if he put the sock back in the draw otherwise its
3/40 * 2/39; because he chooses a grey sock first which changes the odds
