Sherri has a drawer full of socks, all of which are identical except for the color. The drawer contains only white socks and blue socks.

Sherri determines that the probability of choosing a white pair of socks is 0.65. She states that since the drawer only has white socks and blue socks, the probability of randomly choosing a blue pair of socks must be the same as the probability of randomly choosing a white pair of socks.

Explain why Sherri's reasoning is not correct.

Determine the correct probability of randomly choosing a blue pair of socks.

Answer:

the probability is 50% or 1/2 (equally likely and equally unlikely)

That is because it does not state the amount of socks inside the draw; meaning the answer has to be theoretical.

If the probability is the same, than it has to equal to 100

so we can conclude that 1/2 of the drawer is blue socks and 1/2 is white socks.
