Asked by Lily Longoria

You have 3 pairs of white socks, 4 pairs of black socks, and 2 pairs of colored socks in your drawer. What is the probability that you reach into the drawer and randomly select a pair of white socks?
A. 1/2
B. 1/3
C. 2/3
D. 3/7

I am stumped, please explain?
Answered by Steve
3/9

assuming that the pairs are together, so one draw get a pair. If the socks are loose and two draws are required, things are different.
