Hi,
From a box containing 8 balls: 5 blue and 3 green
3 balls are drawn in succession
with replacement
P(all blue OR all green) = %285%2F8%29%285%2F8%29%285%2F8%29+%2B+%283%2F8%29%283%2F8%29%283%2F8%29
without replacement
P(all blue OR all green) = %285%2F8%29%284%2F7%29%283%2F6%29+%2B+%283%2F8%29%282%2F7%29%281%2F6%29
