a) Sample space: S={1,2,3,4,5}
X≥1 , because we must choose at least one bulb;
We can select at most 5 bulbs, because we have only 4 defective bulbs and the last bulb chosen is non-defective.
b) If we selected n defective bulbs, then the probability that the next one is defective is Total no. of bulbs leftNo. of defective bulbs left=10−n4−n .
If we selected n defective bulbs, then the probability that the next one is non-defective is Total no. of bulbs leftNo. of non-defective bulbs left=10−n6 .
Now we can find the probability mass Function of X:
P(X=1)=106=53
P(X=2)=104⋅96=154
P(X=3)=104⋅93⋅86=101
P(X=4)=104⋅93⋅82⋅76=351
P(X=5)=104⋅93⋅82⋅71⋅66=2101
c) F(1)=P(X≤1)=53
F(2)=P(X≤2)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)=53+154=1513
F(3)=P(X≤3)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)=53+154+101=3029
F(4)=P(X≤4)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)=53+154+101+351=210209
F(5)=P(X≤5)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)=53+154+101+351+2101=1
