P(chocolate but not vanilla chosen) = P(1st scoop is chocolate AND 2nd scoop is NOT vanilla OR 1st scoop is neither chocolate nor vanilla AND 2nd scoop is chocolate)
= P(1st scoop is chocolate AND 2nd scoop is NOT vanilla) + P(1st scoop is neither chocolate nor vanilla AND 2nd scoop is chocolate)
= (1/9 x 7/8) + (7/9 x 1/8)
= 7/72 + 7/72
= 14/72
= 7/36
