ANSWER

[tex]\begin{equation*} 0.27 \end{equation*}[/tex]

EXPLANATION

Given;

The total number of socks is 26

Number of white socks is 9

The number of black socks is 7

Hence, the number of brown socks;

[tex]\begin{gathered} 26-(9+7) \\ 26-16=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The probability of picking black socks is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(Black)=\frac{n(black)}{Total} \\ =\frac{7}{26} \\ =0.2692 \\ \cong0.27 \end{gathered}[/tex]
