Description

This example presents a scenario where students calculate the probability of selecting two pairs of socks—one purple and one black—from a drawer containing various colors. Students must find the probability of selecting purple socks first, then multiply it by the probability of selecting black given that purple has already been selected. This exercise introduces conditional probabilities, reinforcing basic concepts while providing new contexts for application. The consistent use of visual aids helps students understand how changing variables affect outcomes, allowing them to practice applying their growing knowledge in different contexts.
