Suppose you have 10 blue socks and 8 white socks in a drawer.
a. You select two socks at random, in succession, and with replacement. Find the probability that both socks are blue.
b. You reach in and pull out two socks at the same time, at random. Consider the following two possible solutions to finding the probability that both socks are blue.
i. Mariam gives this correct solution: CAs, 2) Describe reasoning that supports this solution.
it. John gives this correct solution: 18 * 7
Describe reasoning that
supports this solution.
c. Explain why the two solution methods in Part b are equivalent.
