In a box are 6 purple and 4 pink socks. You randomly pick up two socks from the box. What is the probability that the socks have the same color? Answer with a quarrel in the simplest

Respuesta :

Answer: Total number of socks = 6+4 = 10

There are 6 purple socks out of 10 total socks

as 6/10

There are now 9 socks total because he pulled one out, and 5 purple socks left because we assumed he pulled a purple sock out

So the next pull's is:

5/9

So the probability that he will pull two purple socks is:

(6/10)*(5/9) = 1/3 or 33.3% if you convert it to a percentage.
