Answer:
(A) 0.04
(B) 0.25
(C) 0.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let R = drawing a red chips, G = drawing green chips and W = drawing white chips.
Given:
R = 8, G = 10 and W = 2.
Total number of chips = 8 + 10 + 2 = 20
As the chips are replaced after drawing the probability of selecting the second chip is independent of the probability of selecting the first chip.
(A)
Compute the probability of selecting a white chip on the first and a red on the second as follows:
Thus, the probability of selecting a white chip on the first and a red on the second is 0.04.
(B)
Compute the probability of selecting 2 green chips:
Thus, the probability of selecting 2 green chips is 0.25.
(C)
Compute the conditional probability of selecting a red chip given the first chip drawn was white as follows:
Thus, the probability of selecting a red chip given the first chip drawn was white is 0.40.
