Question

Henry grabs one shoe at a time at random without replacement from a box of fourteen shoes in his closet. The box contains 6 brown shoes, 4 black shoes, and 4 sneakers. What is the probability that the first two shoes he chooses will be black? Round to the nearest percent if necessary.
7%
8%
16%
18%

Answer 1

16%

Answer 2

explain plese

Answer 3

It'd be 7%. This is because the first time, it's a 4 in 14 chance. Second time, since one shoe is gone from both the overall and black shoe categories, it's a 3 in 13 chance. (4/14)*(3/13).
