There are 20 white and 10 black balls  in the box.In turn draw 4 balls and  each draw ball is returned to the box  before the next ball is drawn and the   balls in the box are mixed.What is the  probability that out of four balls  taken out there will be two white balls?

       ((bobhans)/(⋰⋱))  by binomial distribution probability  p = ((20)/(30)) = (2/3) , q = 1−(2/3)=(1/3)  let X is randomly variable . we want compute  P(X=2) = C_( 2) ^( 4)  p^2  q^2  = ((4×3)/(2×1)). ((2/3))^2 .((1/3))^2                      = 6×(4/(81)) = (8/(27))
