While getting dressed for school early one morning, the light in Toni's bedroom burned out. Toni knew he had plenty of clean socks in his drawer, but none of them were matched. He had 24 white socks and 6 blue socks. What is the probabilty of Toni finding 2 white socks or 2 blue socks in the dark? White_____ Blue____

Answer 1

P(2 white or 2 Blue)=P(2 white)+ p(2 blue)= 2/24 + 2/6=5/12

Answer 2

not quite that easy
you start with 30 socks
p first blue =6/30
p second blue = 5/29
so .2*5/29
product is p2 blue

p first white = 24/30
p second white = 23/29
product is p 2 white

so add
.2*5/29 + 24*23/(29*30)
