The correct answer is 1/2.

PP = Two pink socks.
PW = One pink sock and one white sock.
WW = Two white socks.
WP = One white sock and one pink sock.

There are two matching pairs that he can pull out: Two pink socks and two white socks. There are four different combinations.

Two over four is 1/2, which is zero-point-five; therefore, the correct answer is 1/2.

You're welcome.


Also my conclusion and reasoning.
