Question

You wish to randomly choose a sock from a drawer that contains 2 black socks, 3 brown socks, and

5 blue socks.
Find the probability of selecting not a red sock from the drawer.
P(not red)
___ (write answer to three decimal places if necessary)

Answer 1

Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The drawer does not have any red socks in it, so the chances of picking a red sock are 0. A probability of 0 means "the event will never happen".

Therefore P(not red) = 1 = 100% to mean we know 100% that the sock won't be red.

All probabilities are between 0 and 1, including both endpoints.
