Description
This example shows a drawer with socks in various colors, including green, blue, black, pink, yellow, white, and gray. It focuses on finding the probability of selecting socks that are not green, blue, or black. Students determine the total number of non-green, non-blue, and non-black socks and divide it by the total number of socks. Visual aids clarify these calculations and reinforce understanding. Seeing multiple worked-out examples helps students develop an intuitive sense for how probabilities work.
