A drawer contains five pairs of socks that are brown, black, white, red, and blue. Claude takes the red socks out of the drawer. He doesn't want red socks so he puts them back. What is the probability that Claude will choose the red socks twice?

1/5 because there are only 5 pairs if it was single socks it would then be 2/10
