Description
This example involves calculating the probability of selecting either green, blue, or black socks from a drawer containing various colors. Students are tasked with finding the total number of these colored socks and dividing 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. Seeing multiple worked-out examples like this is crucial for developing confidence in calculations.
