What is probability?

Its simple notion is that something will most likely occur. The favorable event's proportion to the overall number of occurrences.

A drawer contains 4 black socks, 3 white socks, and 2 red socks.

One sock is drawn from the drawer and kept.

The second sock is drawn from the drawer.

The total number of the event will be

Total event = 9

Then the probability that they are both white will be

P = (3/9) (2/8)

P = (1/3)(1/4)

P = 1/12

P = 0.0833

P = 8.33%
