Answer 8

Even though the answer has been given already, I should clarify that there really isn't a "standard" pool game as such.  Different games that use all fifteen object balls include 8-ball, straight pool, one pocket, rotation, etc.  Any games that use less than fifteen object balls are referred to as "short rack" games.  As was mentioned, 9-ball uses 9 balls.  Other short rack games include 10-ball, 7-ball, 3-ball, bowlliards, etc.  Bank pool can be played using either a full rack or a short rack.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

A full rack is 15 but you also have  3-6-7-9-10-Ball games and in Straight you only rack 14

Answer 10

7 stripes 7 solids and the 8 ball = 15
