Question

Suppose you have a drawer full of white, black, and yellow pairs of socks. If the probability of picking a white pair of socks is 4/9, and the probability of picking a black pair of socks is 7/18
, what is the probability of picking a yellow pair of socks?

Answer 1

a. 1/6
b 5/25
c 7/15
d 16/27

Answer 2

well i reckon there's 18 socks in total, so that would mean 8 white, 7 black and therefore 3 yellow. so the P(y) = 3/18 = 1/6

Answer 3
