There is a total of 66 socks on the floor the chance of picking up a red sock is 30 in 66 which is equal to a 45% chance.  After picking up one sock the chances of getting another red sock is 29 in 65 which is around 44%.  Now I believe your answer is 45% or around 30 socks.  I hope this helped but please let me know.

If AA and BB are two disjoint events with P(A)=0.15P(A)=0.15 and P(B)=0.75P(B)=0.75, find the following probabilities:
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

a 0

b) 0.9

c) 0.85

d) 0.25

e) 0.1

f) 0.0375

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

As A and B are two disjoints events, then P(A and B) is

P(A and B)=0

b)

As A and B are two disjoints events, then P(A or B) is

P(A or B)=P(A)+P(B)

P(A or B)=0.15+0.75=0.9

c)

P(not A)=1-P(A)

P(not A)=1-0.15=0.85

d)

P(not B)=1-P(B)

P(not B)=1-0.75=0.25

e)

P(not (A or B))=1-P(A or B)

P(not (A or B))=1-0.9=0.1

f)

P(A and (not B))=P(A)*P(not B)

P(A and (not B))=0.15*0.25=0.0375
