Answer:

14/625

Explanation:

probability = favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

First find the probability of drawing a purple piece of paper.

There are 7 pieces of purple paper.

Add all the amounts of colored paper together to get the total number of outcomes.

2 + 6 + 10 + 7 = 25

The probability of drawing purple is 7/25

Now find the probability of drawing blue. There are 2 blue pieces of paper. Since he replaces the purple paper the total stays at 25.

The probability of drawing blue is 2/25

This is a compound probability problem, so multiply the two probabilities together.

7/25 x 2/25

14/625
