Description

This example focuses on calculating the probability of selecting either green or red socks from a drawer filled with various colored socks. Students must find the total number of green and red socks and divide it by the total number of socks to determine this probability. This exercise reinforces basic probability concepts while introducing combined probabilities, allowing students to apply their knowledge in slightly different contexts. The visual aid 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 and recognize patterns in calculations, preparing them for more complex scenarios.
