If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.
P(w) = 10/44 * (10-1)/(44-1) = ?
P(b) = 12/44 * (12-1)/(44-1) = ?
Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.
P(w) + P(w) = ?
Suppose your top drawer contains different colored socks: 10 are white, 8 are black, 14 are pink, and 12 are blue. All socks in the drawer are loose (unpaired). In the morning, you randomly select two socks, one at a time.
What is the probability that you get either a white pair or a blue pair of socks?
