A drawer contains 4 red socks, 3 white socks, and 3 blue socks. Without looking, you select a sock at random, replace it, and select a second sock at random. What is the probability that the first sock is blue and the second sock is red?

Please explain.

4+3+3=10. 4 out of 10 socks are red 3 out of 10 are blue ;P
