Without looking, George pulls socks from a drawer containing 2 white socks, 3 black socks, and 5 yellow socks. With each pulll, a sock is removed from the drawer and is not replaced. find the probability of drawing a yellow, black, and white sock in that order.

Answer 1

original 10 socks

first pull 5/10 = 1/2
now 9 socks, 2 w + 3 b + 4 y

second pull 3/9 = 1/3
now 8 socks 2 w + 2 b + 4 y

third pull
2/8 = 1/4

final
1/2 * 1/3 * 1/4 = 1/24
not likely :)
