Suppose you have a bag with ten balls in it, and each ball has a digit printed on it: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. So there is one ball for each of the ten digits 0-9. a) Suppose instead you take a ball out, record its value, then return it into the bag, then repeat this process three total times. What is the probability that you will select the 5, the 0, and the 4, in that order? b) In part (a), what is the probability that your three selections consist of the number 4 twice, and the number 8 once, in any order?
