The number of socks that must he take out to be sure that he has at least two socks of the same color is 3.

Probability

In a  situation were  three (3) socks are taken from the drawer, at least two (2) socks must have the same color.

Using this formula

P=P(Red)+P(Black)+P(Either red or black)

Where:

P(Red)=1

P(Black)=1

P(Either red or black)=1

Hence:

P=1+1+1

P=3 socks

Therefore the number of socks that must he take out to be sure that he has at least two socks of the same color is 3.
