Question

Your drawer contains 10 red socks
and 9 blue socksIt's too dark to see
which are which, but you grab two
anyway. What is the probability that
you get one of each color?

Answer 1

Answer:

90/361

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the probability to grab a red and blue sock.

p(red sock) = 10/19

p(blue sock) = 9/19

2. Multiply the two probabilities.

10 x 9 = 90

19 x 19 = 361

3. Simplify only if it is possible to do so.

4. The answer is 90/361.
