Answer:


\large\boxed{\text{Probability of drawing a yellow chip: 12\%\\}}\\\\\large\boxed{\text{Probability of drawing a blue chip: 25\%\\}}

Explanation:

In this question, we're trying to find the probability of drawing a yellow chip and a blue chip (without replacing).

Lets find the probability of drawing a yellow chip.

We know that:

  • There are 3 yellow chips
  • There are 25 chips in total

With the information above, we can find the probability.

You would simply divide 3 by 25 to get the probability.


3/25=0.12\,\, \text{or}\,\,12\%

The probability of drawing a yellow chip is 12%

Now lets find the probability of drawing a blue chip.

We know that:

  • There are 6 blue chips
  • We can't replace the chip that was drawn

Win the information above, we can find the probability.

Since we can't replace, our total amount of chips would be 24.

So we would divide 6 by 4 to find the probability of drawing a blue chip.


6/24=0.25\,\,\text{or}\,\,25\%

The probability of drawing a blue chip is 25%

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!

Answer:

12% and 25%

Explanation:

The total amount of chips = 7 + 9 + 3 + 6 = 25

The probability of drawing yellow chips = 3/25 = 12%

The probability of drawing blue chips = 6/(25-1) = 25% (because you have already pick 1 from the last drawing)

Hope this help
