The probability that both chips are red is 11/108.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total chips = 14 yellow + 10 blue + 12 red = 36

Two chips are chosen randomly with replacement,

Probability of choosing both red = (red / total) and (remaining red / total)

⇒ (12/36) [tex]\times[/tex] (11/36)

⇒ 132/1296

⇒ 11/108
