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?

3/10 blue 4/10 red!

Please explain.

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

Well, You also have to consider the probabilty changes every time you take a sock, unless you place the sock back, the entire ratio changes.
