Answer:

The probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the drawer,

Number of blue socks = 4

Number of white socks = 8

Number of gray socks = 4

Total number of socks  = 4 + 8 + 4 = 16

Total ways to select 2 socks form 16 socks is

^{16}C_2=\dfrac{16!}{2!(16-2)!}=120

Total ways to select 2 socks of the same color is

T = Possible ways of (2 blue + 2 white +2 gray) socks

  = ^{4}C_2+^{8}C_2+^{4}C_2

  = 6+28+6

  = 40

The probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is

Probability=\dfrac{\text{Total ways to select 2 socks of the same color}}{\text{Total ways to select 2 socks form 16 socks}}

Probability=\dfrac{40}{120}

Probability=\dfrac{1}{3}

Therefore, the probability of getting 2 socks of the same color is 1/3.
