8 black and 7 green in urn (15 in all)
5 drawn with replacement.
Probability that first one is green:
P(1)=7/15
Probability that second one is green
P(2)=7/15
(ball is replaced)
...
P(5)=7/15
For all 5 steps to succeed, multiply together the individual probabilities
P(all five are green)
=(7/15)*(7/15)*(7/15)*(7/15)*(7/15)
=(7/15)^5
I will leave you to do the calculator part to evaluate to three decimal places.
