Question 1127866
.
<pre>
The probability is  {{{10/(10+15)}}} = {{{10/25}}} = {{{2/5}}} = 0.4 to get a white sock at the first trial.


The probability is the same  {{{2/5}}} = 0.4 to get a white sock at the second trial.


Hence, the probability that both socks are white is {{{0.4^2}}} = 0.16.    <U>ANSWER</U>
</pre>

Solved.
