An urn contains 1000 balls, 825 of which are blue and the rest are red. I sample 100 balls. What is the probability that I pick exactly 80 blue balls in my sample, if: (a) I sample without replacement? (For you to check your work, the anwer is approximately 0.0834325). (b) I sample with replacement? (This time, the answer is approximately 0.0805802). (c) Can you explain why your number in part a is bigger than your number in part b?
