To find the probability distribution of the number of white balls drawn from an urn containing 4 white and 6 red balls when 4 balls are drawn at random, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Random Variable Let \( X \) be the random variable representing the number of white balls drawn. The possible values of \( X \) are \( 0, 1, 2, 3, \) and \( 4 \). ### Step 2: Calculate Total Ways to Draw 4 Balls The total number of ways to choose 4 balls from 10 (4 white + 6 red) is given by the combination formula: \[ ...
