A drawer contains 16 socks: 10 black, 4 brown, and 2 blue. Once a sock is taken from the drawer, it is not replaced before the next sock is taken. If it’s dark in the room and you can’t see what color the socks are, what is the probability of ending up with a matching pair when you take two socks? Write your answers as percentages rounded to the nearest whole number. (Ex. 36%) (You may use the calculator to help with the calculations.) P(Blue,Blue) =

Odds of one blue sock – 2/16. Odds of second blue sock after one is gone – 1/15. Odds of a pair of blues, back to back is (1/15)*(2/16), to turn that into a %, multiply by 100, get 0.83%

You can do the same for brown (4/16) first draw, (3/15) second draw. =5%

And black – (10/16) first draw, (9/15) for the second. 37.5%.

So the odds of any pair is 37.5+5+.83

the pupils won’t understand because of the style you or their instructors are coaching. each and each student is diverse so they might choose their classes to be changed. As a instruct, you’re able to attempt diverse techniques (hands on, seen, ect.) and notice which one works ultimate for the student.
