Answer 1

Its C checked it on edgunity  doing it on the quiz hope its right Ik i'm late.

Answer 2

Answer:

Probability of pulling out a white sock = $\frac{6}{10}$.

Probability of pulling out another white sock = $\frac{5}{9}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A drawer of loose socks contains 2 red socks, 2 green socks, and 6 white socks.

To find : Which best describes how to determine the probability of pulling out a white sock, not replacing it, and pulling out another white sock.

Solution : We have given that red socks = 2.

                                               green socks = 2

                                                white socks = 6.

Total scoks =  10 .

Probability = $\frac{number of favouable outcome }{total number of outcomes}$.

Probability of pulling out a white sock = $\frac{6}{10}$.

Not replacing it ,

Now , we left only total 9 socks and 5 white socks

Probability of pulling out another white sock = $\frac{5}{9}$.

Therefore, Probability of pulling out another white sock = $\frac{5}{9}$.
