Answer:

C. 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

p(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

The total number of outcomes is the sum of the numbers of all chips.

5 + 3 + 7 = 15

The desired outcomes are any red or blue chips to be drawn.

There are 3 red chips and 7 blue chips.

3 + 7 = 10

Number of desired outcomes = 10

p(red or blue) = 10/15 = 2/3

Answer: C. 2/3
