  1. A bag contains 5 white, 7 red and 8 black balls. If 4 balls are drawn one by one with replacement, what is the probability that all are white ?
    1. 1/256
    2. 1/16
    3. 4/20
    4. 4/8
Correct Option: A

Probability that first ball drawn is white = 5C1 = 1/4
Since, balls are drawn with replacement, hence all the four events will have equal probability.
Therefore, required probability = 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/256
