Question

A box has 6 beads of the same size, but all are different colors. Tania draws a bead randomly from the box, notes its color, and then puts the bead back in the box. She repeats this 3 times. What is the probability that Tania would pick a yellow bead on the first draw, then a blue bead, and finally a yellow bead again?

Answer 1

The answer is 1/6 or 2/6. it depends on how many yellow colored beads there are in the box.

Answer 2

Each specific bead color has a probability 1/6 of being drawn.

Therefore the final answer is 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216
