Find the indicated probability.
-A bag contains four chips of different colors, including red, blue, green, and yellow. A chip is selected at random from the bag and then replaced in the bag. A second chip is then selected at Random. Make a list of the possible outcomes (for example RB represents the outcome red chip Followed by blue chip)and use your list to determine the probability that one blue chip and one Yellow chip are selected.
A) $\frac { 1 } { 4 }$
B) $\frac { 1 } { 8 }$
C) $\frac { 1 } { 16 }$
D) $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$

The possible outcomes for selecting one blue chip and one yellow chip, in any order, are BY and YB. Since there are 4 options for the first draw and 4 options for the second draw, there are 16 possible outcomes in total (4x4). The probability of drawing one blue and one yellow chip in any order is therefore 2 out of 16, which simplifies to $\frac{1}{8}$.
