Question

Alice has 2 identical pairs of red shoes and 1 pair of white shoes, where a pair of shoes is one left and one right shoe of the same color.If she draws two shoes at random, what is the probability that she picks a pair? Give your answer as a reduced fraction.

Answer 1

P(white,white) = 2/6 * 1/5 = 1/15
P(Lred,Rred) = 2/6 * 2/5 = 2/15
P(Rred,Lred) = 2/6 * 2/5 = 2/15

add 'em up

Answer 2
