Probability of odd socks and even socks

In moana learning hub on Tuesdays and Thursdays we have strand maths.We have been learning about statistics and probability. This week and last week we were testing the probability of getting odd or even socks. We tested this by reaching into a bag and seeing if we pulled out a pair of socks or odd socks. On the first test there was 2 blue socks and 2 purple socks on. The results for that were 50% each. On the the next test there were 3 blue socks and 2 purple socks. The results on that test were 50% for a pair and 50% for an odd! 

I found out that there were 12/25 chances and that there was six pairs and six odds
This is a video of me explaining the probability of odd socks or a pair of sock
