To solve the problem of finding the mean and variance of the random variable \( X \), which represents the number of red balls drawn from an urn containing 4 white and 3 red balls when drawing 3 balls, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Possible Values of \( X \) The possible values for \( X \) (the number of red balls drawn) can be: - \( X = 0 \) (no red balls) - \( X = 1 \) (one red ball) - \( X = 2 \) (two red balls) - \( X = 3 \) (three red balls) ...
