Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information:

Bowl A contains 2 red chips. Bowl B contains 2 white chips. Bowl C contains 1 red chip and 1 white chip.

Let A be the event that Bowl A is randomly selected.

B be the event that Bowl B is randomly selected and

C be the event that Bowl C is randomly selected.

 

Three bowls have equal chance of being selected so P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = 13

Let W be the event that a white chip is selected.

So. probability of selecting a white chip from A is 0 (since there are no white chips)

Probability of selecting a white chip from B is 22=1

Probability of selecting a white chip from C is 12=0.5
