A laundry basket contains 18 blue socks and 24 black socks. What is the probability of randomly picking 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket?
P(black socks): 24/42 or 12/21 P(black socks without replacing): 23/41. As a result, the probability of randomly picking 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket is 12/21×23/41=276/861 or 32%. Hope it help!
