If you pick 5 with replacement, what’s the probability that all 5 are red?
If you pick 5 without replacement, what’s the probability that all 5 are red?
If you pick 10 without replacement, what’s the probability that 5 are red and 5 are blue?
\[ \Pr(5 \text{ red with repetition}) = \binom{5}{5} (7/10)^5 \approx 0.17 \]
\[ \Pr(5 \text{ red without repetition}) = \frac{70 * 69 * 68 * 67 * 66}{100 * 99 * 98 * 97 * 96} \]
Alternatively, we can use the binomial coefficient as follows:
\[ \Pr(5 \text{ red without repetition}) = \frac{\binom{70}{5}}{\binom{100}{5}} = \frac{\frac{70!}{5!65!}}{\frac{100!}{5! 95!}} = \frac{70 * 69 * 68 * 67 * 66}{100 * 99 * 98 * 97 * 96} \approx 0.16 \]
You can read the second equation as the number of ways I can choose 5 out of 70 reds over the number of ways that I can choose 5 out of 100 balls.
\[ \Pr(5 \text{ red without repitition}) = \frac{\binom{70}{5} \binom{30}{5}}{\binom{100}{10}} \approx 0.004 \]
