from a jar containing 15 marbles, each marble is marked with a number (1 to 15). marbles are then drawn randomly from the jar 6 times with replacement(x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6), what is the probability that the number marked on the first marble is less than the number marked on the sixth marble?(x1x6).

total possible ways = 15*15 = 225
no. of ways when number marked of the first is less than number marked on the fifteen = ( 1 + 2 + 3 + .....+ 14 ) = 105

required probability = 105 / 225
= 7/15
