Luka has a bag containing 5 socks: 3 red, 1 white, and 1 black. He draws 1 sock out of the bag, replaces it, and then draws another sock. What is the probability that he will draw a black sock and then a red sock, P(black, then red)?
Accepted Solution
A:
Prob( drawing a black sock) = 1/5Prob ( drawing a red sock) = 3/5These 2 events are independent so they are multiplied:-P(black then red sock) = 1/5 * 3/5 = 3/25 Answer
