Three sets of these have been placed in a box. Balls are drawn without replacement. (Questions are independent of each other) (4 pts. each)

a) If three balls are drawn from the box, what is the probability that all three balls are identical?

b) If four balls are drawn from the box, what is the probability that three of them are stripes?

c) If two balls arc drawn, what is the probability that their sum is 28?

d) Stripes balls have been taken out of the box. If seven balls are drawn, what is the probability that two of them are 3s, three of them 2s, and two of them are cue halls?
