In order to get the probabilities you need to use the Clebsch-Gordan table.

From the original equation we know that Y⁰₁ is the same as |10> and Y¹₁ is the same as |11>. We also know that electrons have an inherent spin of 1/2, so the chi (+) is |1/2 1/2> and the chi (-) is |1/2 -1/2>.

This is evident because chi + is spin up and chi - is spin down and we are working with an electron.

So at this point we have:
Y⁰₁ = |1 0>

Y¹₁ = |1 1>

Chi (+) = |1/2 1/2>

Chi (-) = |1/2 -1/2>

So now we plug this back into the first equation and for now we will ignore the radial part (R₂₁). When we do this we get:

sqrt(1/3) |10> |1/2 1/2> +sqrt(2/3) |11> |1/2 -1/2>

This is where the Clebsch-Godradn table comes into play.

We know that the spin of electron is 1/2, and we also know that l is one (we got that because the lower part of the angular equation is on for both Y⁰₁, and Y¹₁, and also in the radial equation R_nl)

So we go to the 1 X 1/2 clebsch-Gordan table.

so |10> |1/2 1/2> = sqrt(2/3) |3/2 1/2> - sqrt(1/3) |1/2 1/2>
This one we got from the line highlighted in yellow
and |11> |1/2 -1/2> = sqrt(1/3) |3/2 1/2> + sqrt(2/3) |1/2 1/2>
This one we got from the line highlighted in green

Now we plug this back in and get
sqrt(1/3)*(sqrt(2/3) |3/2 1/2> - sqrt(1/3) |1/2 1/2>)+ sqrt(2/3)(sqrt(1/3) |3/2 1/2> + sqrt(2/3) |1/2 1/2>)

This equals sqrt(2)/3|3/2 1/2>+sqrt(2)/3|3/2 1/2>+(2/3)|1/2 1/2> - (1/3)|1/2 1/2>
Which simplifies to 2*sqrt(2)/3|3/2 1/2>+(1/3)|1/2 1/2>

So J² = (3/2)(3/2+1)hbar² with a probability of 2*2/9
= (1/2)(1/2+1)hbar² with a probability of 1/9

And J_z = (1/2)hbar with a probability of 1
