Your drawer contains 6 black socks 8 white socks. You randomly choose two socks. What is the probability that both socks are black



Answer :

Insidious


First, you have to find the total number of socks. The total is 14. Now, since you choose 2 socks out of 14 in total, the probability is 2/14 or about 14%. To find the percent, just divide the numerator by the denominator. The answer you get is in decimal form. Multiply the decimal by 100. Then, there is your percent.

Hope it helps :)

P(1 black sock)= 6/14
P(2 black socks)= (6/14)^2
                          =36/196
