Question 1075656: A box contains six tickets, with letters: A, B, C, D, D, E. Note that there are 2 D�s in the box. Nine draws will be made at random with replacement. Find the probability that exactly four of the tickets drawn will be a D. Express your answer as a percent.

Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
p(d) = 2/6 = 1/3

binomial probability is used with p = 1/3 and q = 1 - p = 2/3

binomial probability formula is p(x) = p^x * q^(n-x) * c(n,x)

this becomes p(4) = (1/3)^4 * (2/3)^5 * c(9,4)

that looks like what you have.

when you evaluate it, you get p(4) = .2048468221.

from what i know, i believe you are correct.
