Question
**Problem Statement:**

There are 20 identical looking packets of white powder. 8 of them contain cocaine and 12 do not. Four of the packets are randomly selected. Let \( X \) equal the number of the selected packets which contain cocaine.

**Questions:**

a. How many possible ways are there to select the 4 out of 20 packets (order does not matter) without replacement?  
b. What is the probability that \( X = 0 \)?  
c. What is the probability that \( X = 4 \)?  
d. What is the probability that \( X > 3 \)?  
e. What is the expected value of \( X \)?  
f. What is the standard deviation of \( X \)?  
g. What is the probability that \( X \) is smaller than its expected value?  
h. What is the probability that \( X = 5 \)?
