Hi,
A drawer contains 15 socks: 8 blue and 7 red
One sock is drawn at random and not replaced. Then a second sock is drawn
a. P(The first sock is blue and the second sock is red) = %288%2F15%29%287%2F14%29
b. P(The two socks are different colors) = %288%2F15%29%287%2F14%29 + %287%2F15%29%288%2F14%29
c. P(The two socks are the same color)= %288%2F15%29%287%2F14%29 + %287%2F15%29%286%2F14%29
