Consider the following scenario: Marbles are drawn without replacement from a bag of 15 marbles.
�How many samples of 3 marbles can be drawn?
Ans: 15C3 = (15*14*13)/(1*2*3) = 455
--------------------------------------------
�How many samples of 3 marbles can be drawn if they are drawn with replacement?
Ans: An infinite number because each time you draw you are replacing the
marble. So there were always be 15 marbles in the bag.
