sofia has a drawer of socks.
the table shows the number and
color of the socks in her drawer.
color\tnumber
blue\t6
red\t7
pink\t14
grey\t9
what is the probability that she
will randomly pick a blue sock,
put it on, then randomly pick a
pink sock?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of socks

$6 + 7 + 14 + 9 = 36$

Step2: Probability of picking blue sock first

$\frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$

Step3: New total after removing blue sock

$36 - 1 = 35$

Step4: Probability of picking pink sock next

$\frac{14}{35} = \frac{2}{5}$

Step5: Multiply the two probabilities

$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{30} = \frac{1}{15}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{15}$
