urn contains 4 white and 6 red rolls. Four balls are drawn at random (without replacement) from the urn. Find the probability distribution of number of white balls?

Probability distribution
W 0 1 2 3 4
P(W)
We need to find the probability for each of the case, then we need to fill the table.
Do you get this @msingh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup
OpenStudy (ash2326):
First case 0, white, It;s easy
Can you find the probability of getting all 6
OpenStudy (ash2326):
red
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmmm.
no

Choosing 4 out of 6 red= 6C4
Choosing 4 out of 10=10C4
\[P(W=0)=\frac{^6C_4}{^{10}C_4}\]
Do you get this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay when
no white balls --- (3/5)^4 = 81/625
one white ball -- C(4,1) (2/5) (3/5)^3 = 216/625
two white balls -- C(4,2) (2/5)^2 (3/5)^2 = 216/625
three white balls -- C(4,3) (2/5)^3 (3/5) = 96/625
four white balls -- (2/5)^4 = 16/625
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it right
OpenStudy (ash2326):
How did you find 1 white?

i copy from somewhere
OpenStudy (ash2326):
I think you have replaced them back. Yes copying never helps

k

Did you understand how I found probability for first case W=0?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

For second case W=1 R=3
\[P(W=1)=\frac{^4C_1\times^6C_3}{^{10}C_4}\]
1 blue out of 4, 3 red out of 6
4 out of 10
