A box contains two pair of socks of two colours (black and white). I have picked out a white sock. I pick out one more with my eyes closed. What is the probability that I will make a pair? |
Answer» Given number of socks in the box = 4 Let B and W denote black and white socks respectively. Then we have S = {B, B, W, W} If a white sock is picked out, then the total no. of socks left in the box = 3 Number of white socks left = 2 – 1 = 1 Probability of getting white socks = number of white socks left in the box/ total number of socks left in the box = 1/3 |
