Smelly socks

WALT: Statistics

Welcome back to my blog,
EL4 have been answering a question we were asked by our teacher  here is the question.
 For fun, siblings Joe and Susan are dressing in the dark.
There are two purple socks and two blue socks.
Are the kids most likely to get a pair, or one sock of each colour?
How do you know?
My teacher had a bag with two purple socks and two blue socks in it and she called up people to pull out two socks and see what we would get, we calculated it in our book these are the socks we picked out.
1 blue & 1 purple
1 blue & 1 purple
1 purple & 1 blue
1 purple & 1 blue
That was the first group of socks and here is the other.
1 purple & 1 blue
1 blue & 1 blue
1 purple & 1 purple
1 blue & 1 blue
