You have a bag with 4 pairs of socks. There are 2 red pairs and 2 black pairs. You pull a sock from the bag and put it back 3 times. What is the probability that you pull out a red sock each time?

Probability of an event E = No of desired outcomes / total number of out comes so can you do it now.. ??

Since you are putting back the sock every time, the probability of picking a red rock at each draw is the same. Now, since you are picking 3 socks one after the other, you must consider using the product rule. P(pick 1st sock)*P(pick 2nd sock)*P(pick 3rd sock)
