Two numbers are selected from first six even natural numbers at random without replacement. If X denotes the greater of two numbers selected, find the probability distribution of X.
उत्तर
The two even natural numbers can be selected from the first six even natural numbers without replacement in 6 × 5 = 30 ways.
X represent the greater of two numbers.
Therefore, X can take the values 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.
For X = 4: Possible observations are (2, 4), (4, 2).
∴ P(X = 4) = `2/30 = 1/15`
For (X = 6): Possible observations are
(2, 6), (6, 2), (4, 6), (6, 4)
P(X = 6) = `4/30 = 2/15`
For X = 8: Possible observations are
(2, 8), (8, 2), (4, 8), (8, 4), (6, 8), (8, 6)
P(X = 8) = `6/30 = 1/5`
For X = 10: Possible observations are
(2, 10), (10, 2), (4, 10), (10, 4), (6, 10), (10, 6), (8, 10), (10, 8)
P(X = 10) = `8/30 = 4/15`
For X = 12: Possible observations are
(2, 12), (12, 2), (4, 12), (12, 4), (6, 12), (12, 6), (8, 12), (12, 8), (10, 12), (12, 10)
P(X = 12) = `10/30 = 1/3`
Therefore, the probability distribution
| X | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 |
| P(X) | `1/15` | `2/15` | `1/5` | `4/15` | `1/3` |

A primary school teacher wants to teach the concept of 'larger number' to the students of Class II.
To teach this concept, he conducts an activity in his class. He asks the children to select two numbers from a set of numbers given as 2, 3, 4, 5 one after the other without replacement.
All the outcomes of this activity are tabulated in the form of ordered pairs given below:
| 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | |
| 2 | (2, 2) | (2, 3) | (2, 4) | |
| 3 | (3, 2) | (3, 3) | (3, 5) | |
| 4 | (4, 2) | (4, 4) | (4, 5) | |
| 5 | (5, 3) | (5, 4) | (5, 5) |
- Complete the table given above.
- Find the total number of ordered pairs having one larger number.
