An urn contains 6 green and 9 pink balls. Five 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 5 balls drawn from the urn are pink? Round your answer to three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
Given:
Number of green balls = 6
Number of pink balls = 9
Total number of balls = 6+9 = 15
5 pink balls can be drawn from 9 pink balls in ways.
5 balls can be drawn from total 15 balls in ways.
