Answer to Question #300142 in Statistics and Probability for Lucifer

Question

Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement from a box containing 4 yellow balls and 3 white balls. Let Z be the random variable representing the number of white balls. Find the values of the random variable Z.

Answer 1

$P(Z=0)=\frac{4}{7}*\frac{3}{6}=\frac{2}{7}.$

$P(Z=1)=\frac{3}{7}*\frac{4}{6}*2=\frac{4}{7}.$

$P(Z=1)=\frac{3}{7}*\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{7}.$
