Four balls are to be drawn without replacement from a box containing 8 red and 4 white balls. If X denotes the number of red ball drawn, find the probability distribution of X.
उत्तर
Since 4 balls have to be drawn, therefore, X can take the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
P(X = 0) = P(no red ball) = P(4 white balls)
= `(""^4"C"_4)/(""^12"C"_4) = 1/495`
P(X = 1) = P(1 red ball and 3 white balls)
= `(""^8"C"_1 xx ""^4"C"_3)/(""^12"C"_4) = 32/495`
P(X = 2) = P(2 red balls and 2 white balls)
= `(""^8"C"_2 xx ""^4"C"_2)/(""^12"C"_4) = 168/495`
P(X = 3) = P(3 red balls and 1 white ball)
= `(""^8"C"_3 xx ""^4"C"_1)/(""^12"C"_4) = 224/495`
P(X = 4) = P(4 red balls)
= `(""^8"C"_4)/(""^12"C"_4) = 70/495`
Thus the following is the required probability distribution of X
| X | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| P(X) | `1/495` | `32/495` | `168/195` | `224/495` | `70/495` |

The probability that a bomb will hit the target is 0.8. Complete the following activity to find, the probability that, out of 5 bombs exactly 2 will miss the target.
Solution: Here, n = 5, X =number of bombs that hit the target
p = probability that bomb will hit the target = `square`
∴ q = 1 - p = `square`
Here, `X∼B(5,4/5)`
∴ P(X = x) = `""^"n""C"_x"P"^x"q"^("n" - x) = square`
P[Exactly 2 bombs will miss the target] = P[Exactly 3 bombs will hit the target]
= P(X = 3)
=`""^5"C"_3(4/5)^3(1/5)^2=10(4/5)^3(1/5)^2`
∴ P(X = 3) = `square`
