Description
This example involves a drawer containing socks in different colors such as green, red, blue, yellow, white, and gray. Students calculate the probability of selecting socks that are neither green nor red. To solve this, they find the total number of non-green and non-red socks and divide it by the total number of socks. This exercise reinforces basic probability concepts using visual aids to support understanding. Multiple examples like this help students grasp different scenarios, building confidence in their ability to solve similar problems independently.
