Start with 5 white and 3 black
1) P(BB) \(= \frac{3}{8}*\frac{2}{7}=\frac{6}{56}\)
P(BW) = \(\frac{3}{8}*\frac{5}{7}=\frac{15}{56}\)
throw back the white ball then P(drawing black) \(=\frac{2}{7}\)
2) So Prob of getting BWB \(\frac{15}{56}*\frac{2}{7}= \frac{15}{196}\)
3) The prob of getting WBB is the same as BWB
P(WW) \(\frac{5}{8}*\frac{4}{7}=\frac{20}{56}\)
Throw both balls back and the prob of then getting BB is 6/56
4) P( WWBB) = (20/56)*(6/56) = \frac{15}{392}
So the prob of ending up with 2 black balls is \(\frac{15}{56}+\frac{15}{196}+\frac{15}{196}+\frac{15}{392}= \frac{45}{98}\)
