Question

Five chips numbered 1 through 5 are placed in a bag. A chip is drawn and replaced. Then a second chip is drawn. Find the probability that one chip is even AND the other is odd. (Hint: You can choose an even chip and then an odd chip, or an odd chip and then an even chip.)

Answer 1

12345

The odds of drawing an even chip are $\frac{2}{5}$.

The odds of drawing an odd chip are $\frac{3}{5}$.

You multiply the two $\frac{2}{5} x \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{25}$.

Knowing you cannot simplify 6/25 any further, you now have your answer!
