Revisit Bryden’s sock drawer from earlier in the test (4 Cool socks, 6 Hunk socks, 2 Genius socks). If Mr. Smith draws out two socks, one at a time for Bryden to wear, what is the probability that they do not match?
total number of socks = (4+6+2)=12
he selects 2 socks from the 12 socks without replacement.
the probability that they do not match = (1- the probability that they will match)
probability of wearing both cool socks :-
probability of wearing both Hunk socks :-
probability of wearing both genius socks :-
so, the probability that they will match :-
= probability of wearing both cool socks +probability of wearing both Hunk socks +probability of wearing both genius socks
If Mr. Smith draws out two socks, one at a time for Bryden to wear, what is the probability that they do not match be:-
