There are five red chips and three blue chips in a bowl. The red chips are numbered $1,2,3,4,5$, respectively, and the blue chips are numbered $1,2,3$, respectively. If two chips are to be drawn at random and without replacement, find the probability that these chips have either the same number or the same color,

A bowl has 6 red chips and 4 blue chips. If two chips are randomly selected independently and with replacement, find the probability that at least one is blue.
Pritesh R.
Bowl I contains six red chips and four blue chips. Five of these 10 chips are selected at random and without replacement and put in bowl II, which was originally empty. One chip is then drawn at random from bowl II. Given that this chip is blue, find the conditional probability that two red chips and three blue chips are transferred from bowl I to bowl II.
