Kevin is trying to find a white sock in his drawer. He has 16 white socks, 4 brown socks, and 6 black socks. What is the probability that he pull out either a black or brown sock, puts it back, and then pulls out a white sock?
+23247 Since there is a total of 26 socks, the probability of selecting a black or brown sock is 10/26.
The probability of selecting a white sock is 16/26.
The probability of selecting a black or brown sock first and then, with replacement, selecting a white sock is: 10/26 x 16/26 = 160/676 = 40/169 = 0.237
