The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the possible values of \( x \), where \( x \) represents the number of black balls drawn from the urn containing 6 red and 3 black balls when two balls are drawn. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Number of Balls:** - The urn contains a total of \( 6 \) red balls and \( 3 \) black balls. - Therefore, the total number of balls in the urn is: \[ 6 + 3 = 9 \text{ balls} \] 2. **Define the Random Variable \( x \):** - The random variable \( x \) represents the number of black balls drawn when two balls are selected from the urn. 3. **Determine the Possible Values of \( x \):** - Since we are drawing two balls, the possible scenarios for the number of black balls drawn can be: - \( x = 0 \): No black balls are drawn (both balls drawn are red). - \( x = 1 \): One black ball is drawn and one red ball is drawn. - \( x = 2 \): Two black balls are drawn. 4. **List the Possible Values of \( x \):** - From the above scenarios, we can conclude that the possible values of \( x \) are: \[ x = 0, 1, 2 \] ### Final Answer: The possible values of \( x \) are \( 0, 1, \) and \( 2 \).
