A box contains 18 tennis balls, of which eight are new. Suppose that three balls are selected randomly, played with, and after play are returned to the box. If another three balls are selected for play a second time, what is the probability that they are all new?

Please I will be very glad if you can help me to answer this queastionf for me the reply I have received theer is no answer.

Do you know how to find a simple probability?

The probability for taking one new ball from the bad is 8/18 (that is 8 new, out of 18 balls) which simplifies to a probability of 4/9.

Do you know how to find the probability that the three first balls picked were new?

ScottGem's answer was totally appropriate. If you were looking for an "answer" as in answer to the homework, we aren't here to just answer your homework for you.
