Sherri has a drawer full of socks, all of which are identical except for the color. The drawer contains only white socks and blue socks. Sherri determines that the probability of choosing a white pair of socks is 0.65. She states that since the drawer only has white socks
and blue socks, the probability of randomly choosing a blue pair of socks must be the same as the probability of randomly choosing a
white pair of socks.
Explain why Sherri's reasoning is not correct,
Determine the correct probability of randomly choosing a blue pair of socks

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

9x
