Answer
Solution: E
The maximum number of draws needed is 5. This can only happen if the first four draws produce four different colors. The first draw can be any sock. The second draw must be one of the 6 (of 7 remaining) that are different. The third draw must be one of the 4 (of 6) that are different from the first two. The fourth draw must be one of the 2 (of 5) that are different. The probability all of this happens is 1(6/7)(4/6)(2/5) = 0.2286.
