Total numbers of white socks = 6 pairs
Total numbers of black socks = 3 pairs
Total number pairs of socks = 6 + 3 = 9
(i) Probability of getting a white sock is = Total number of white socks/Total number of socks
= 6/9
= 2/3
∴ The probability of white socks is 2/3.
(ii) Probability of getting a black sock is = Total number of black socks/Total number of socks
= 3/9
= 1/3
∴ The probability of black socks is 1/3.
