Say you have 6 socks in a drawer, all different colors. There's one red sock and 5 other different color socks. You randomly pull out a sock, note the color and then put it back in. If you do this 6 times, what are the odds that you will have pulled out the red sock within those 6 tries? In other words, at the beginning of the scenario, you say you're going to do this 6 times. What are the odds you'll pick the red one by the 6th attempt?
