    Total amount: 16

    Red socks: 4

    Probability of picking a red sock 4/16

    If we take a red sock out and do not replace it, we are left with a total of 15 socks.

    Blue socks: 6

    So the probability of picking a blue sock will be 6/15

    Multiply:

    4/16 * 6/15 = 24/240 = 1/10
