Answer to Question #119718 in Statistics and Probability for Asubonteng Isaac Adjei

Question

Suppose a ball is drawn at random from a box containing three white and three black balls. After a ball is drawn, it is then replaced and another drawn. What is the probability that of the first four balls drawn, exactly two are white?

Answer 1

According to the binomial distribution formula the probability of drawn exactly 2 white balls is:

$P(2)=C_4^2\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^2\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^2=0.375$
