If she pulls a pair of socks out of her drawer in the morning without looking what is the probability she will choose a pair of white socks

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok there are 4+3+1+2 pairs of socks in all... Aka 10 sock pairs in all.

There are 4 white pairs.  So the probability she selects a white pair is 4/10.

4/10 can be reduced to 2/5.

Answer 2

The probability she will choose a pair of white socks is $\frac{2}{5}$

Probability :

Given that,

• Deena has 4 pairs of of white socks

• 3 pairs of black sock

• 1 pair of red socks

• 2 pairs of Navy socks

Total number of outcomes $=4+3+1+2=10$

We have to find the probability she will choose a pair of white socks.

Number of favourable outcomes$=4$

the probability she will choose a pair of white socks is,

                  $P=\frac{4}{10} =\frac{2}{5}$
