Adrawer contains 12 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 blue socks. one sock is selected at random.

what is the probability that the sock is blue, given that it is not brown?
question 2 options:

The likelihood is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this we take the number of blue socks (2) and divide by the sample size. We can find the sample size by adding all of the socks that it could be. Since it must not be brown, we have to add blue to white.

2 + 8 = 10

So we divide blue by that number

2/10 = 1/5

i can answer this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
