A bag contains 5 white and 3 black balls. Two balls are drawn one by one with replacement. What is the probability that the first is white and the second is black?
A15/64
B15/56
C8/64
D1/2
✓ Correct Answer: A — 15/64
P(White) = 5/8. P(Black) = 3/8. Since it is with replacement, probability = (5/8) * (3/8) = 15/64.
