Give the PMF and MGF of the discrete probability function of X.

Given twelve civilians who are wearing socks and each one of them have various (unique) styles. An
authority asked all the civilians to place their socks all in one container, jumbling them all, and he
randomly selected 6 pieces of socks. Given a random variable X, which is the amount of matching sets or
pairs of socks , find the probability mass function of variable X. Also give the moment-generating
function of X and utilize it to find the mean and variance of X
