In a drawer there is a pair of green gloves and pair of brown gloves. You should pull out two gloves at random. what is the probability that you have a matched pair?
A) 1/4 B) 1/3 C) 1/2 D) 2/3
Answer please. . .

• sample space={gg,gb,bg,bb}
  answer is 1/2

• Let gloves are
  G1, G2
  B1, B2
  
  S = {G1B1, B1B2, G1G2, G2B2, G1B2, G2B1};
  E = {B1B2, G1G2}
  
  P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
  = 2/6
  =1/3

• when you will pull third glove you will get a matched pair.
  so p(matched glove)=1/3

• (2c2+2c2)/4c2
  1/3
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(1)
• =1/3
  probability of getting same typ of gloves 2C2 for green and same for brown
  so probable outcome is 2C2 + 2C2
  and total outcome is 4C2
  sp 2/6 or 1/3

• 1/2
  (2C2+2C2)/(4C2)

• Please help. Is it finally 1/3 or 2/3 or 1/2 ?

• D) 2/3
  
  there is only three possibilities of drawing 2 socks i.e GG,BB,GB out of which only 2 are favourable

• answer should be
  D) 2/3
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(4)
• pair of green gloves = 2
  pair of brown gloves = 2
  So sample space= 4c2=4*3/1*2=12/2=6
  no ofevents = 2c2+2c2=2
  p(s)= n(E)/n(s)
  = 2/6
  =1/3

• Out of 4 we can select 2 in 4c2 ways.
  There are two common pairs.out of those we can select one pair in 2c1 ways. Probability =2c1/4c2
  1/3

• 1/2 is the exact answer... because we cannot define brown1 nd brown2.... sooo..... only two colors were present in that drawer...
  sample space={gg,bb,gb.bg}
  n(e)= gg , bb
  
  p(e)= n(e)/n(s) =====> 1/2

• inside drawer 2 green gloves, 2 brown gloves
  possiblities of combination of glove in 2 pulls
  
  green,green
  green, brown or brown,green
  brown,brown
  
  from above
  probability of getting same colour pair is 2/3

• 5^(x+1)=6^y and 2^(x+y)=3^y then value of x??
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• And 1÷2
  Probability=no of favourable casrs÷number of possibilities=2÷4=1÷2
