1) In a jar there are 3 white marbles and 7 black marbles.You draw a marble and see

if it is black .If so , you stop.Otherwise,you keep the marble and draw again.You

repeat this process untill u draw a black marble.


a) Find the probablity that 3 draws are needed.


c) Find the probablity that 5 draws are needed.

in case u r talkin bout drawin aftr replacin d marbles
prob of drawin a white marble = 3/10
in case 3 draws r neede,
we get net prob = 3/10 * 3/10 * 7/10

i case 5 draws r neede,
we get net prob = (3/10)^4 * 7/10
