Answer:
The likelihood that the professor's socks matched his pants on both days is 0.5625
Step-by-step explanation:
Total no. of pair of socks = 24
No. of black pairs = 18
We are given that he selects one pair of socks on Monday and one on Tuesday. Since he has lots of clean socks in the drawer he does not do laundry.
So, It is a case of replacement
He always wears black pants.
We are supposed to find he likelihood that the professor's socks matched his pants on both days i.e. Black socks both days.
So ,Probability of wearing black socks on Monday =
So ,Probability of wearing black socks on Tuesday =
So,the likelihood that the professor's socks matched his pants on both days =
Hence the likelihood that the professor's socks matched his pants on both days is 0.5625
