A drawer has 4 red socks and 4 blue socks. If 3 are drawn, what is the probability of a match?

1.0

There are only two colors, so the 3rd sock must match one of the previous two.

First the choice of one color = 4/8. With the 7 remaining socks, the choice of the other color = 4/7. With 3 remaining of each color in the 6 socks left, P = 3/6.

If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

4/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 = ?

Steve seems to be ignoring that you might pick 4 socks of the same color in a row.

Wouldn't 4 socks in a row produce 2 pairs of the same color?

Sorry, I goofed. Mia Culpa!

So now I'm really confused. Ms. Sue can you please explain how to figure this one?

Steve is right. When you draw the third sock, you will have a match.
