Step-by-step explanation:
1. In 2 draws, you can get one of each, so a minimum of 3 draws will guarantee at least 2 of one color.
__
2. A minimum of 3 socks must be drawn to ensure one pair. A minimum of 2 must be drawn to ensure an additional pair. For three pairs, 7 socks must be drawn.
__
3. The first 5 balls drawn could be white, so an additional 2 must be drawn to ensure 2 red balls. To be sure of 2 red balls, 7 balls must be drawn.
