Let's work through this problem step by step.
1. Total Pockets:
You have 6 pockets in total.
2. Pockets Already Checked:
You have checked 2 pockets already, and you did not find the money in either of them.
3. Remaining Pockets:
Since you have checked 2 pockets out of 6, there are [tex]\( 6 - 2 = 4 \)[/tex] pockets left.
4. Probability:
The probability of finding the money in the next pocket you check is determined by the number of remaining pockets. Since there are 4 pockets left and only one of these pockets contains the money, the probability of the money being in the next pocket you check is [tex]\(\frac{1}{4}\)[/tex].
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D. [tex]\(\frac{1}{4}\)[/tex]
