Given a betting game where there are balls of same and equal mass and are numbered one to fifteen placed inside a jar and mixed properly. Then 3 balls were chosen at random without replacement where a ball is picked immediately one after the other in progression. i) Given person A who has sufficient money to only play for a total of four bets. Person A always bets that the result among the 3 balls chosen is a number smaller than six. After a streak of losses, find the probability that person A will be successful and win on his fourth bet.
