Description

This example presents a scenario where students calculate the probability of selecting either green or white socks from a drawer containing various colors. Students must find the total number of green and white socks and divide it by the total number of socks. This exercise introduces combined probabilities and reinforces basic concepts while providing new variations 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. Multiple worked-out examples help solidify these ideas, ensuring students feel confident in their calculations.
