An urn holds 5 white and 3 black marbles. if 2 marbles are to be drawn at random without replacement and x denotes the number of white marbles, find the probability distribution for x

Respuesta :

i = [tex]p(0) = \frac {3} {8} x \frac {2} {7} = \frac {3} {28} ; p (1) = \frac {3} {8} x \frac {5} {7} + \frac {5} {8} x \frac {3} {7} = \frac {15} {28}; p (2) = \frac {5} {8} x \frac {4} {7} = \frac {5} {14} [/tex]

 

(a)  i. The probability mass function of X is 5 / 14

Hypergeometric Distribution is the probability distribution of a hypergeometric random variable.

The hypergeometric distribution is used to calculate the statistical importance of having drawn a specific k successes (out of n total draws) from the aforementioned population in the hypergeometric test uses.


ii. Please see attached image for the answer.
