Question

There are 15 unmatched socks in your drawer. 9 are black, 5 are white, and 1 is brown. What is the probability that if you already randomly choose one of the black socks, that you will choose another black sock?

Answer 1

Answer: 4/7

Explanation:

You pick one black sock, meaning there are 14 socks remaining in the drawer, 8 of which are black. Thus, the probability is 8/14, which simplifies to 4/7.
