Answer 4

1/2?

Then you put it back, for each pick so the probability that you pick a red sock is 1/2 for the second and third picks as well.

Answer 9

50% chance every time

Answer 10

Answer 11

Yes

Answer 12

sorry. The page glitched on me.
It's a 1/2 chance all three times, so you multiply them together to get the overall probability.

\[\frac{ 1}{ 2 }\times \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\times \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 1 }{ 8 }\]
