3/5 or 60% chance

Interesting questions
1) The chance of picking 1 pink sock is 4/10, and this will leave 3 pink socks in a a total of 9 socks. Then, the chance of picking another pink sock will be 3/9.
Total probability 4/10 x 3/9 = 12/90 = 0.133..3
2) The chance of picking one $20 box is 7/10 and the chance of picking another $20 box (without replacement) is 6/9, total probability 7/10 x 6/9 = 42/90 = 0.466..6

10 socks total... on the first pick, he has a 6/10 chance
on the second pick he has a 5/9 chance
the combined probability is therefore 6/10 * 5/9 = 30/90 = 1/3 = 33.3%
on the first pick there is a 7/10 chance
on the second pick there is a 6/9 chance
the combined probability is 7/10 * 6/9 = 42/90 = 46.7%

1) 2 purple out of 6 pruple = 2/6 = 1/3 = 33% probalility
2) 2 - $20 bill boxes out of 7 - $20 bill boxes = 2/7 probaliity = approx. 29% probability

good fun questions...let's assume they are not returned...
first, have 6/10 times 5/9 = 30/90 = 1/3 = .33...
then, have 7/10 times 6/9 = 42/90 = .466...
