Answer:

10/11

Explanation:

There are a total of 22 students who took at least one of the last three chapter tests:

11 students passed all three tests

9 students passed two tests

2 students passed one test

So, the total number of students who passed either two or three tests is:

11 + 9 = 20

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected student passed two or three tests is:

20/22 = 10/11

Hence, the final answer as a simplified fraction is 10/11.
