In the drawer there are four blue socks, six black socks, seven brown socks (he lost one in the laundry), and four red socks. Harry reaches in a pulls a sock out at random. Find the probability that the sock chosen is
a. P(brown) = 7/21 1/3
b. P(blue) = 4/21
c. P(red) = 4/21
d. P(black) = 6/21 = 2/7
e. P(not brown) = 2/3
f. P(neither brown nor blue) = 10/21
