Find the probability distribution of the number of white balls drawn in a random draw of 3 balls without replacement from a bag containing 4 white and 6 red balls.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to question:
Let {X} denote the number of white balls in a sample of 3 balls drawn from a bag containing 4 white and 6 red balls.
So, {X} can take the values 0 white ball 1 or 2 or 3 white ball.
`Rightarrow {P}({X}=0)=frac{{ }^{6} {C}_{3}}{{ }^{10} {C}_{3}}`
`=frac{frac{6 !}{3 ! 3 !}}{frac{10 !}{3 ! 7 !}} `
