Answer: Our required probability is 0.3387.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of red cards = 4

Number of black cards = 5

Number of cards drawn = 5

We need to find the probability of getting exactly three black cards.

Probability of getting a black card =
(5)/(9)

Probability of getting a red card =
(4)/(9)

So, using "Binomial distribution", let X be the number of black cards:

$P(X=3)=^5C_3((5)/(9))^3((4)/(9))^2\\\\P(X=3)=0.3387$

Hence, our required probability is 0.3387.
