Mohan has 8 pairs of shoes; each pair is a different color. If Kim randomly selects 2 shoes without replacement from the 16 shoes, what is the probability that she will select 2 shoes of the same color?
Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 2/5 B) 1/15 C) 1/9 D) 1/10 E) 1/25
Can be tackled in this way as well: Probability of selecting any 1 out of 16 shoes = 16/16= 
<gadget id="calculator">16/16</gadget>
<output>1</output>
1   Probability of selecting the next shoe (out of 16 available) having the same color= 1/16 (as after selecting the 1st one, there is only 1 another shoe left with the same color).   Thus the total probability = 1*1/15=1/15.   1/15 is the correct answer.
