Question 1059323: A children’s party is doing the following game – 15 children place their shoes in a barrel (30 shoes). One child is blindfolded. She will pick two shoes at random, one at a time.
What is the probability that she picks her left shoe first, and her right shoe second?
What is the probability she picks either of her shoes first, and finds the match with her second pick?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! = P of left shoe = P of then picking right shoe = P of
left shoe 1st, then right shoe
-------------------------------------- = P of either shoe first = P of then picking other shoe = P of
either shoe 1st, then other shoe
