Total number of balls = 8 + 6 = 14
Total ways of drawing 3 balls, N(S) = 14C3 = 364
No of ways to draw 3 black balls = N(E1) for black balls = 8C3 = 56
Probability of all balls being black = P(E1) = N(E1) / N(S) = 56/ 364 = 14/91
No of ways to draw 3 white balls = N(E2) for white balls = 6C3 = 20
Probability of all balls being white = P(E2) = 20 / 364 = 5/91
Probability of drawing 3 black balls in first draw and drawing 3 white balls in the second draw = P(E1) x P(E2)
Therefore P(E) = 14/91 x 5/91 = 70 /8281
