A box contains three blue balls and three white balls. if two balls are drawn one at a time, find the probability that both balls are blue if the draws are made as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "a). with replacement
\n" ); document.write( "1st draw : P(blue) = 3/6 = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "2nd draw : P(blue) = 3/6 = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "P(2 blue in two draws = (1/2)^2 = 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "b.) without replacement
\n" ); document.write( "1st draw : P(blue) = 3/6 = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "2nd draw : P blue) = 2/5
\n" ); document.write( "P(2 blue in two draws) = (1/2)(2/5) = 1/5
\n" ); document.write( "=============================================
