Adresser contains 4 pairs of socks, with 1 each in the colors red, black, blue, and grey. it also contains 3 skirts, with 1 each in the colors black, navy, and khaki. what is the probability that 1 pair of red socks and 1 black skirt are chosen at random?

Hence the probability that 1 pair of red socks and 1 black skirt are chosen at random is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denotes the event that 1 pair of red socks are chosen.

Let B denote the event that a 1 black skirt is chosen.

let P denotes the probability of an event. ( Probability of an event is defined as the ratio of Number of favourable outcomes over the total number of outcomes)

and

Hence, the probability that 1 pair of red socks and 1 black skirt are chosen at random i.e.  is given by:

(since the events are independent)

Hence,
