Question

A drawer contains 2 red socks, 4 white socks, and 8 blue socks. Without looking, you draw out a sock, return it, and draw out a second sock. What is the probability that the first sock is red and the second sock is blue?

Answer 1

$|\Omega|=14^2=196\\|A|=2\cdot8=16\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{16}{196}=\dfrac{4}{49}\approx8.2\%$
