Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 84 socks in the basket.

Out of all the different 84 possible outcomes, we have only 18 favorable outcomes.

That is how probability is calculated

[tex]\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Possible outcomes}}[/tex]

Calculate:

  • 18/84
  • 6/28
  • 3/14

There is a 3 in a 14 chance of it being a white sock.

The probability of selecting a white socks is 3/14.

Data;

  • blue = 30
  • white = 18
  • red = 5
  • black = 31

Probability Without Replacement

To determine the probability of just picking white socks from the basket, we have to find the total numbers of sock there first.

[tex]blue + white + red + black = 30 + 18 + 5 + 31 = 84[/tex]

Total number of socks in there is 84

The numbers of white socks are 18.

The probability of selecting just a white socks is

[tex]P = \frac{18}{84} = \frac{3}{14}[/tex]

The probability of selecting a white socks is 3/14.
