Joy has seven pairs of shoes. three are ivory and four are navy. She randomly chooses a pair to wear each day. Find the probability that Joy chooses a ivory pair two days in a row under each condition.
----
P(pick an ivory pair) = 3/7
P(pick ivory pair 2 days in a row) = (3/7)^2 = 9/49
-----------------------
Will she wear the same pair two days in a row or will she not wear the same pair two days in a row.
That is up to Joy.
