Find the indicated probability.
-A bag contains four chips of which one is red, one is blue, one is green, and one is yellow. A chip is selected atrandom from the bag and then replaced in the bag. A second chip is then selected at random. Make a list of thepossible outcomes (for example RB represents the outcome red chip followed by blue chip)and use your list todetermine the probability that one blue chip and one green chip are selected.
A) $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$

B) $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$

C) $\frac { 1 } { 16 }$

D) $\frac { 1 } { 8 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The possible outcomes for selecting one blue chip and one green chip are BG and GB. Since there are 4 options for the first draw and 4 for the second (because the chip is replaced), there are 16 possible outcomes in total. Thus, the probability is 2/16 = 1/8.
