We will use the Multiplication Rule of Probability to find the answer.

This rule states that to find the intersection of two events, multiply them together.

First find the probability of drawing a yellow chip. Do this by creating a fraction.

Probability of drawing a yellow chip:

3 <— 3 yellow chips
—
25 <— 25 total chips

Then find the probability of drawing a blue chip:

6 <— 6 blue chips
—
25 (still 25 as you put the yellow chip back in)

Now that we have the two probabilities multiply them together.

3/25 * 6/25 = 18/625 = about 2.8% chance

The probability of drawing a yellow chip, replacing it, and choosing a blue chip will be 18/625.

What is probability?

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

A bin contains seven red chips, nine green chips, three yellow chips, and six blue chips.

Then the total number of the event will be

Total event = 7 + 9 + 3 + 6

Total event = 25

The probability of getting a yellow chip will be

Favorable event = 3 {yellow chip}

Then the probability will be

P(Y) = 3 / 25

The probability of getting a blue chip will be

Favorable event = 6 {blue chip}

Then the probability will be

P(B) = 6 / 25

Then the probability of drawing a yellow chip, replacing it, and choosing a blue chip will be

P = P(Y) x P(B)

P = (3/25) x (6/25)

P = 18 / 625

The probability of drawing a yellow chip, replacing it, and choosing a blue chip will be 18/625.
