Question

You randomly choose one of the chips. Without replacing the first chip, you choose a second chip. Find
the probability of choosing the first chip, then the second chip.
White and not a Green

Answer 1

Answer:

probability = 0.07777

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 10 chips

white  1

red     4

green 2

blue   3

the probability of choosing the W chip is 1/10  or  0.10      

now there are 9 chips left (the first chip was not replaced)

the probability of choosing a non-green chip is (9-2)/9 =  7/9  = 0.7777  

so now I THINK you multiply the two probabilities to get the total probability

probability = 0.1 ·0.7777

probability = 0.07777    which makes sense it has to be less than 0.1
