Answer:4/13
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of yellow chicks = 8
Number of black and white chicks = 6
Total number of chicks = 8+6 = 14
The probability of the first yellow chick escaping will be 8 out of 14.
The probability of the second yellow chick escaping will be 7 out of 13 since there'll be 13 chicks left after the first yellow excaped.
Therefore, the probability that both chicks were yellow will be:
= 8/14 × 7/13
= 4/7 × 7/13
= 4/13
Therefore, the probability is 4/13.
