Question

An urn holds 4 red, 3 blue, and 2 green marbles.
Three marbles are selected, altogether, without replacement.

Let Y be the number of red marbles obtained.

What is the expectation of Y?

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1: Determine the variable

The number of marbles in the urn is given as follows:

Red=4Blue=3Green=2

The variable Y is defined as: "Y= number of red marbles".


In this case, each obtained marble has the only option of "being red" (defined as success) or "not being red" (defined as failure). As a finite marbles are selected (i.e., the experiment involves finite trails) following a "sampling without replacement", the probability of obatining a red ball (i.e., the success probability) changes for each drawn marble. 

Thus the variable, "Y= number of red marbles" is claimed to follow Hyper-Geometric distribution.
