Question

A bowl contains eight chips. Three of the chips are red and the remaining five are blue. Two chips are to be drawn successively, at random and without replacement. What is the probability that the first draw results in a red chip and that the second draw results in a blue chip?

• A. 0.27
• B. 0.71
• C. 0.38
• D. 0.57

Hint:

For sequential draws without replacement:
\[ \text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Wanted } 1}{\text{Total } 1} \times \frac{\text{Wanted } 2}{\text{Total } 1 - 1} \]
Ensure you reduce the total count in the denominator for the second fraction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A
