Description

This example focuses on calculating the probability of selecting a pair of green socks from a drawer filled with various colored socks. Students must find the total number of green socks and divide it by the total number of socks to determine this probability. This exercise reinforces the basic probability formula while providing a new context for students to apply their knowledge. The visual aid of the sock drawer continues to be an effective tool in understanding both the problem and its solution. Working through multiple examples like this helps students deepen their understanding of probability concepts and recognize patterns in probability calculations, preparing them for more complex scenarios.
