There are 8 black chips and 6 white chips, 14 chips in total. In this situation the probability to pick a black chip is 8/14=4/7.

When one white chip was removed, then only 5 white chips left and the total number of chips became 13. In this situation the probability to pick a black chip is 8/14=4/7.

When second white chip was removed, then ther left 4 white chips and the total number of chips became 12. Now the probability to pick a black chip is 8/12=2/3 as needed.

Answer: Must be removed 2 white chips. Correct choice is B.

The ordered pairs (1, 3), (2, 9), (3, 27), and (4, 81) represent a function. Write a rule that represents this function.
Art [367]
Let x be the first number each pair and y is the second of each As you see 1x is 3y
And. 2x is 3*3y= 9y
3x = 3*3*3y= 27y

Last 4x =3*3*3*3y= 81y

So y = 3^x
