From a box containing 5 red chips and 8 blue chips, three chips are drawn in succession
b. w/o replacement
P(0 B) = (5/13)^3
P(1 B) = (8/13)(5/13)^2
P(2 B) = (8/13)^2(5/13)^1
P(3 B) = (8/13)^3
a. sampling is done w/ replacement
P(0 B) =
P(1 B) = etc
P(2 B) =
P(3 B) =

From a box containing 5 red chips and 8 blue chips, three chips are drawn in succession. Find the probability for the no. of blue chips selected if:
a. sampling is done w/ replacement::: (8/13)^3 = 0.2330
-------------------------------
b. w/o replacement:: 8C3/13C3 = 0.1959
