A drawer contains 2 Red Socks, 7 White Socks, and 9 blue sock Without looking, you draw out a sock and then draw out a second sock without returning the first sock. What is the probability that the first sock and the second sock are both red?

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one ids attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

probability that the first sock and the second sock are both red = (number of red socks /total number of socks) x (number of red socks /total number of socks)

At the first pick, the probability = 2/18

At the second pick because there is no replacement, there would be 1 red socks and 17 socks = 1/17

2/18 x 1/17 = 1/153
