You can put this solution on YOUR website! a box contains 6 red pens and 4 blue pens. A pen is selected at random the colour is noted and the pen is returned to the box. this procedure is performed a second and then a third time. find the probability of obtaining 3 red pens
-----------
Ans: Since the pen is replaced after each selection the selection
probabilities are independent.
Ans: P(3 red with replacement) = (6/10)^3 = 0.027
