Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here , Three bals are taken out of an urn
Sample space is
={S}({RRR}, {RRW}, {RWR}, {WRR}, {RWW}, {WRW}, {WWR}, {WWW})
Where R represents red ball and W, white ball
Let {X}= number of red balls.
so possible value of {X} are 3,2,1,2,1,0 or 0,1,2,3 (no red ball)
{P}({X}=0)={P}( No red ball )={P}({WWW})
`=frac{4}{7} times =frac{4}{35}`
