Two boxes contain the following pieces of chalk of the same size. 2 red, 1 yellow, 4 green, 3 white, and 2 blue pieces. if one piece of chalk will be randomly selected from each box, what is the probability that both pieces will be white? a.) 1/16 b.) 1/22 c.) 1/4 d.) 1/36

Option A.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Two boxes contains the following pieces of chalk of the same size.

Red = 2

Yellow = 1

Green = 4

White = 3

Blue = 2

Each box contains = 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 2  = 12 pieces of chalk of the same size.

There are total pieces of chalks are 12 and white chalks are 3 in each box.

If one piece of chalk will be randomly selected from each box.

The probability of first box that piece will be white =

The probability of second box =  

Therefore,  P =   ×

                   P = ×

                   P = ×  

                   P =

The probability that both pieces will be white is   .
