Question

Bubba's sock drawer is very messy. He's holding an athletic sock, and he blindly reaches into the drawer and pulls out another sock. If his drawer has 9 athletic socks, 6 dress socks, and 8 crew cut socks, what is the probability that he grabs an athletic sock. Express your answer as a percent to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

If he is holding an athletic sock, prob(another athletic) = 9/23 = .39 = 39%

I am assuming that while he is holding the athletic sock, there are still
9 of those remaining.
If the interpretation is different, make the necessary changes.
