An urn contains 8 red chips, 10 green chips, and 2 white chips. A chip is drawn and replaced, and then a second chip drawn. What is the probability of (a) a white chip on the first draw

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.

Answer:

0.1.
