A box contains 300 discs of different colours.
There are 100 pink discs, 100 blue discs and 100 orange discs.
The discs of each colour are numbered from 0 to 99.
Five discs are selected at random, one at a time, with replacement. Find
(i) the probability that no orange discs are selected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fact that the experiment is repeated with replacement means that every time
the initial conditions remain the same.
Therefore, in each selection of every of 5 discs, the probability that
no orange discs are selected is = .
Therefore, the probability that no orange discs are selected in all 5 selections is
= = = 0.131687243, or 0.1317 (rounded). ANSWER
