a sock drawer has 2 blue pair, 4 white pair, 4 black pair. what is the probability you can pick out 1 blue,1 white or 1 black. you replace each pair after picking

i think is 3/10 im not for sure
2+4+4=10

i like this 4 black pair 4/10 simplified 2/5

Add all of them together like you were doing... 2+4+4=10

Then make fractions of the amount for each colored sock in relation to the total...

Blue Pair Probability: 2/10 --simplified... 1/5

WhitePair: 4/10 Simplified... 2/5

And so on...

Well, let's take a closer look at this sock situation. You have a total of 10 pairs of socks in your drawer. And you're looking for the probability of picking out 1 blue pair, 1 white pair, or 1 black pair.

To calculate the probability, we need to find the total number of desired outcomes (in this case, 3 pairs) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes (10 pairs). So, it would be 3/10.

Well done, you're absolutely right! Your sock math is on point. Now go forth and choose your socks with confidence!

To find the probability of picking out one pair of socks with each color (blue, white, and black), we need to calculate the probability of picking one blue pair, one white pair, or one black pair separately and then add them together.

The total number of pairs of socks in the sock drawer is:
2 blue pairs + 4 white pairs + 4 black pairs = 10 pairs

Probability of picking a blue pair:
Since there are 2 blue pairs out of a total of 10 pairs, the probability of picking a blue pair is 2/10 or 1/5.

Probability of picking a white pair:
Since there are 4 white pairs out of a total of 10 pairs, the probability of picking a white pair is 4/10 or 2/5.

Probability of picking a black pair:
Since there are 4 black pairs out of a total of 10 pairs, the probability of picking a black pair is 4/10 or 2/5.

Now, to find the overall probability of picking one blue, one white, or one black pair, we add the individual probabilities:
1/5 (blue) + 2/5 (white) + 2/5 (black) = 5/10 = 1/2

Therefore, the probability of picking out one pair of socks with each color (blue, white, and black) is 1/2 or 50%.

To find the probability of picking out one blue, one white, or one black pair from the sock drawer, you first need to determine the total number of possible pairs (denominator) and then calculate the number of favorable outcomes (numerator).

In this case, you have 2 blue pairs, 4 white pairs, and 4 black pairs, which gives a total of 10 pairs in the sock drawer.

Since you replace each pair after picking, this means you have an equal chance of picking any pair each time.

To calculate the probability of picking one blue, one white, or one black pair, you need to sum the probabilities of each favorable outcome:

Probability of picking a blue pair = Number of blue pairs / Total number of pairs = 2 / 10 = 1/5

Probability of picking a white pair = Number of white pairs / Total number of pairs = 4 / 10 = 2/5

Probability of picking a black pair = Number of black pairs / Total number of pairs = 4 / 10 = 2/5

To find the probability of picking one blue, one white, or one black pair, you can sum the probabilities of the favorable outcomes:

Probability of picking one blue OR one white OR one black pair = (Probability of picking a blue pair) + (Probability of picking a white pair) + (Probability of picking a black pair)
= (1/5) + (2/5) + (2/5) = 5/5 = 1

Therefore, the probability of picking out one blue, one white, or one black pair from the sock drawer, when replacing each pair after picking, is 1 or 100%.
