81. An urn contains 25 balls of which 10 balls bear a mark 'X' and the remaining 15 bear a mark 'Y'. A ball is drawn at random from the urn, its mark noted down and it is replaced. If 6 balls are drawn in this way, find the probability that:
(i) All will bear 'X' mark.
(ii) Not more than 2 will bear 'Y' mark.
(iii) At least one ball will bear 'Y' mark.
(iv) The number of balls with 'X' mark and 'Y' mark will be equal.

81. Total number of balls in the urn = 25
Balls bearing mark 'X' = 10
Balls bearing mark 'Y' = 15
p = P (ball bearing mark 'X') =10/25 = 2/5
q = P (ball bearing mark 'Y') =15/25 = 3/5
Six balls are drawn with replacement. Therefore, the number of trials are Bernoulli trials.
