.

Take 3 identical balls.

Write numbers 1, 3 and 5 on balls: one number on each ball.

Place the balls into a box.

Take one ball from the box blindly, i.e. without looking at it.

It is your experiment.


If you want to repeat your experiment (and you MUST repeat it many times, to make it probabilistic experiment),
return the extracted ball to the box.

It is called "experiment on drawing a ball with replacement".
