There are a total of ten chips, three of which are yellow. Hence the probability of a yellow chip on any given draw is 0.3.
Three yellow chips with replacement means thre independent events each with the same probability, namely 0.3, so if event A is getting 3 yellow chips on three draws with replacement
\ =\ 0.3^3)
Just do the arithmetic
