Answer :
Answer:
Therefore the probability of a white chip on the first drawn is 0.1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability: The ratio of favorable outcomes to the total outcomes.
[tex]\textrm{Probability}=\frac{\textrm{Favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total outcomes}}[/tex]
Given that the number of red chips =8, the number of green chips =10 and the number of white chips =2
Total number of chips in the urn is (8+10+2)=20
The probability of drawing a white chip is
[tex]=\frac{\textrm{Number of white chips}}{\textrm{Total number of chips}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2}{20}[/tex]
=0.1
Therefore the probability of a white chip on the first drawn is 0.1.
