    The textbook answer was actually the same answer that I came up with during the video - just a little paraphrased. When taking out all socks one after another and laying them out in a line, you can get all possible permutations of the socks with equal probability. You can imagine all these permutations as lines one below another in a matrix. When we now permute the 1st with the 3rd column and the 2nd with the 4th column there are still all possible permutations represented. However, now the 3rd and 4th sock (tuesday's socks) are chosen before the 1st and the 2nd sock (monday's socks). Thus, you can arbitrarily relabel the days.

    On Monday he picks sock A and B. On Tuesday he picks the other sock from pair B. He now has 0 chance of getting a pair. The point is, your probability on days 2 onwards depend on what socks you picked on preceding days. Also is all socks were the same, then he has a 100% probability.

    Yes but if the first day both A socks are picked, than you have a probability of 1 × 1/7 = 1/7 to pick a maching pair on day 2. The best way of proving that P ( match 2nd morning) = 1/9 is with a probability tree but it's a bit long

    There are 5 distinct pairs of socks, each pair of a different color. Assuming all arrangements are equally probable. Suppose you pick two socks at random. There are in all C(10,2) = 45, combinations but there are only 5 which are favourable to the desired event which means the probability is .11111..... .

    if a matching pair is taken day 1, then 4 pairs remain, so Prob of picking another pair is 1/7 ( Pr Pick a sock = 1 , then Pr picking matching sock is 1/7 ) if non -matching pair is taken day 1, 3 matching pairs remain and 2 odd socks. Pr of picking either of those 2 odds socks Pr=2/8 - in which case it's impossible to find a pair Pr of picking a sock that still has a pair in the drawer Pr=6/8 having picked a sock with a potential pair, picking that pair Pr = 1/7 Pr of picking a pair on day2 = Pr picking a pair on day 1 ( 1/9) * 1/7 + not picking a pair day 1 , (8/9) * picking a sock that still has a pair in drawing (6/8) * picking that pair (1/7) =1/63 + 6/63 = 7/63 = 1/9 !

    There are only 45 possible pairs, because pair AA and AA is the same (doesn't matter which A you picked first) - so possible pairs are 10*9 / 2. After that you get to 1/9 which is correct.

    Because the probability of picking an acceptable 3rd sock is not necessarily 8/8 (1). Consider a case where on Monday you picked not matching pair. That means that on Tuesday the first sock you pick might not have a pair to pick anymore (as you picked it on Monday already). You need to consider both the case of picking a matching pair on Monday and picking non-matching pair on Monday and add the probabilities together. Probability to pick a match on both days is 1/63. Probability to pick a match only on Tuesday is 6/63. If you add those together you get 7/63 = 1/9.

    If Monday has 1/9 of getting a pair, it's 8/9 it was not. If there is no replacement then Tuesday has 8 left with a 8/9 chance that two of them don't have a pair. The first sock's favorable set then becomes from 8 to six. So it is 6/8. Or 3/4. Then the second sock has a chance of 1/7 chance to match since there are 7 socks left. 3/4 x 1/7 = 0.10714285714 or 3/28. IDK but it seems like 3/28 would be it. Maybe I am overthinking this.

    Omg I literally just did this exact thing before reading your comment. I do believe you’re right. Yes you would get 3/28 as the probability of getting a pair on Tuesday. But then, you’d have to multiply that by the probably of not getting a pair on Monday which was 8/9. So 3/28 x 8/9 which equals 2/21.

    I am afraid not. This is the probability of that desired outcome in exactly one trial of the experiment, not in seven trials of it. Week has nothing to do with it. In most finite probability problems you clearly identify the sample space of the possible outcomes in a single trial of the experiment and also those outcomes favourable to the desired event as a subset of the sample space and finally just take the ratio of their cardinalities. This is for simple events, for compound and complex events you will have to use other set theory as well as a bit more advanced probability theory concepts and principles. There must be a practical use of this theory for the advancement of human knowledge of the world we humans live in cause these can lead to a better understanding of the way this world truly scientifically works, with total perfection and precision, and also lead to a better appreciation of the underlying operational laws and principles governing the working of this world. It is certainly useful to us if we going to be in it. Or maybe we could simply sing, "We are the world". That may or may not cut it, depending on which tree you are talking about. Rather than simply say the quantum model is a non deterministic one for instance the seemingly random behavior of elementary particles could be seen as a probabilistic one, or in genes and vaccines the behavioral anamolies or abberations treated as probabilities. These principles can most certainly be grasped and applied in real life to solve real world problems. Although other than for my own personal use, with tremendous success, I have never really applied these principles in real world scenarios.

    Basically an answer that makes sense in theory but not in practice. I.E: Calculate the probability but don't assume that he's wearing the socks, he's just picking them. I feel like it's misleading and would punish students who think rationnaly such as that kid who said "what about washing?"

    Ideally there are 36 possible combinations in which 6 are perfectly matched. Hence the probability of getting a matched pair is 6/36 otherwise 1/6. So why not 1/6??
