If two series of $100$ draws are made from a box at random. The box has $1000$ balls where there are $2$ black balls and the rest are all white. What is the probability that they both produce the same amount of black balls?
I want to use a Poisson Distribution here, however I don't know how to start.
If I understand the problem, the number $X$ of black balls drawn is distributed approximately as $POIS(.2)$ and (per the comment of @drnk) has exactly the hypergeometric distribution for 100 draws from a box with 2 black and 998 white balls.
Either way, the random variable $X$ can actually take only values 0, 1 and 2, and the answer is about 0.7.
Computations in R statistical software:
The two distribution tables are as follows (noting that the approximate Poisson probabilities ignore values greater than 2 and do not add exactly to 1).
