(a) C(4,2)×((1/4))^2 ×((3/4))^2 = 6×(9/(16×16))=((27)/(108))
$$\left(\mathrm{a}\right)\:\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{4},\mathrm{2}\right)×\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} ×\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\:\mathrm{6}×\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{16}×\mathrm{16}}=\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{108}} \\ $$
