Question

In 1 box, there are 3 red, 11 white, 8 black, 2 navy and 6 brown socks. What is the probability of randomly picking a white sock, putting it back, and then randomly picking a brown sock?

Answer 1

Answer 11/150

Explanation: you have 30 socks in all and 11 of them are white that means 11/30 since you replaced the sock or put it back you still have 30 socks and out of those 30 socks there are 6 brown socks basically 6/30 (simplified it is 1/5) you must multiply 11/30 and 1/5 and that gives you 11/150
