Question

In a drawer there are 6 black socks,8 white socks,2 red socks, and 4 blue socks. A boy takes one socks from the drawer, without looking. What is the chance that this socks is blue?

Answer 1

1/5

Explanation:

Chance is also referred to as probability

probability = Number of event/Total samples space

If there are 6 black socks,8 white socks,2 red socks, and 4 blue socks in a drawer, the total number of socks will be the sample space

Sample space = 6 + 8 + 2 + 4

Sample space = 20socks

Total number of blue socks is the event

Number of event = 4 blue socks

Chance that the socks is blue = n(E)/n(S)

Chance that the socks is blue = 4/20

Chance that the socks is blue = 1/5
