Question

An urn contains 8 green and 6 pink balls. Six balls are randomly drawn from the urn in succession, with replacement. That is, after each draw, the selected ball is returned to the urn. What is the probability that all 6 balls drawn from the urn are green? Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answer 1

The probability of drawing a green ball in one draw is 8/14 = 4/7. Since the balls are replaced after each draw, each draw is independent of the others. Therefore, the probability of getting 6 green balls in a row is (4/7)^6 ≈ 0.066.

Rounding to three decimal places, the probability is approximately 0.066.
