Given number of socks in the box = 4 Let B and W denote black and white socks respectively. Then we have S = {B, B, W, W} If a white sock is picked out, then the total no. of socks left in the box = 3 Number of white socks left = 2 – 1 = 1 Probability of getting white socks = number of white socks left in the box/ total number of socks left in the box = 1/3
