It you have a collection of 6 pairs of white socks and 3 pairs of black socks. What is the probability that a pair you pick without looking is (i) white? (ii) black?

Total numbers of white shocks = 6 pairs


Total numbers of black shocks = 3 pairs


Total number pairs of shocks = 6 + 3 = 9


Probability of getting a white shock is =
