a drawer contains 7 black socks, 3 brown socks, and 1 gray sock. a sock is chosen at random. what is the probability that the sock is black or gray? use the formula below to solve this problem. question 2 options: 7/11 1/11 6/11 8/11



Answer :

The Probability that the sock is black or gray is

What is Probability?

A probability is a numerical representation of the likelihood or chance that a specific event will take place. Both proportions ranging from 0 to 1 and percentages ranging from 0% to 100% can be used to describe probabilities.

Total number of socks in a bag = 7+3+1 =11

so total number of outcomes possible = 11

The chance that black or gray will occur, resulting in a greater number of favorable outcomes

Number of favourable outcome will be -

Number of Black sock + Number of gray sock

=7+1

=8

Therefore probability (P) will be 8/11

=0.7272

and individual probability of coming black and gray sock will be

Probability for black socks is 7/11

Probability for gray socks is 1/11
