A drawer of loose socks contains 2 red socks, 2 green socks, and 6 white socks. Which best describes how to determine the probability of pulling out a white sock, not replacing it, and pulling out another white sock?
The probability that the first sock is white is (StartFraction 6 over 10 EndFraction) and that the second sock is white is (StartFraction 6 over 10 EndFraction), so the probability of choosing a pair of white socks is StartFraction 36 over 100 EndFraction = StartFraction 18 over 50 EndFraction.
The probability that the first sock is white is (StartFraction 1 over 10 EndFraction) and that the second sock is white is (StartFraction 1 over 10 EndFraction), so the probability of choosing a pair of white socks is StartFraction 1 over 100 EndFraction.
The probability that the first sock is white is (StartFraction 6 over 10 EndFraction) and that the second sock is white is (StartFraction 5 over 9 EndFraction), so the probability of choosing a pair of white socks is StartFraction 30 over 90 EndFraction = one-third.
The probability that the first sock is white is (StartFraction 1 over 10 EndFraction) and that the second sock is white is (StartFraction 1 over 9 EndFraction), so the probability of choosing a pair of white socks is StartFraction 1 over 90 EndFraction.

Submarines control how much they float or sink in the ocean by changing the volume of air and water contained in large ballast tanks. when the tanks are completely full of water, the submarine increases its overall mass and sinks down to the bottom. when the tanks are completely full of air, the submarine reduces its overall mass and floats to the surface. depending on the density of the seawater surrounding the submarine, it will pump seawater in or out of the tanks in order to achieve the same overall density as the sea water and float neutrally in the water. the volume of the submarine never changes. when the tanks are completely full of water, a submarine with a volume of 7.8\times10^3\text{ m}^37.8×10 3 m 3 7, point, 8, times, 10, start superscript, 3, end superscript, space, m, start superscript, 3, end superscript has a total mass of 8\times10^6\text{ kg}8×10 6 kg8, times, 10, start superscript, 6, end superscript, space, k, g. the density of the seawater is 10^3\text{ kg/m}^310 3 kg/m 3 10, start superscript, 3, end superscript, space, k, g, slash, m, start superscript, 3, end superscript. to make that submarine float neutrally, and neither float nor sink in the ocean, what volume of water does that submarine need to subtract from its tanks?
