Description
This example involves calculating the probability of selecting either green or yellow socks from a drawer containing various colors. Students are required to find the total number of green and yellow socks and divide it by the total number of socks. This exercise reinforces basic probability formulas while introducing combined probabilities, allowing students to apply their knowledge in new contexts. The visual representation continues to aid understanding, providing a familiar framework for solving problems. Multiple examples like this help students develop strategies for approaching similar questions, building confidence in their ability to tackle more complex scenarios.
