Consider an urn. That’s right, an urn. Inside are—you guessed it—different kinds of balls. There are 4 pink balls, 6 purple balls, and 5 balls with Knachel’s face painted on them. If you draw balls from the urn three times, replacing each after it’s drawn, what’s the probability that you’ll get 3 straight Knachels?
An urn contains 4 pink balls, 6 purple balls and 5 balls with knachel's face painted on them.
Therefore, total number of balls in the urn = 15
3 balls are drawn from the urn with replacement.
The probability of getting 3 straight knachels is
P(3 knachels) = P(getting knachels in all 3 draws)
= (5 / 15) * (5 / 15) * (5 / 15)
= (1 / 3)3
= 0.037
Therefore, the probability that you'll get 3 straight knachels is 0.037
