Let X be the random variable of number of black cards occur.
X = {0,1,2}
Sample space 52C2 = 1326
Let X denote the number of black cards drawn.
X = 0, X (both are red cards) = 26C2 = 325
X = 1 (1 black card and 1 red card) = 26C1 \(\times\) 26C1 = 676
X = 2 (both are black cards) = 26C2 = 325

F(x) = p(X ≤ x) = \(\sum_{x_i ≤ x }\)(X = xi)
P(X<2) = 0 for \(\infty\) < x < 2
\(F(2)=\frac { 1 }{ 36 } \)

| x | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| f(x) | \(\cfrac { 1 }{ k } \) | \(\cfrac { 2 }{ k } \) | \(\cfrac {5 }{ k } \) |
\(\sum _{ i=0 }^{ 2 }{ f(x_{ i })=1\Rightarrow f(0)+f(1)+f(2)=1 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 0+1 }{ k } +\frac { 1+1 }{ k } +\frac { 4+1 }{ k } \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ k } +\frac { 2 }{ k } +\frac { 5 }{ k } =1\)

\(F(0)=P(X<0)\\P(x=0)\\ =\frac { 1 }{ 8 } \)
\(F(1)=P(X = 0)+ P(X = 1)\\
\frac { 1 }{ 8 } +\frac { 2 }{ 8 } =\frac { 3 }{ 8 } \)
\(F(2)=P(X= 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = \frac { 1 }{ 8 } +\frac { 2 }{ 8 } +\frac { 5 }{ 8 } =1\)
Cumulative distribution function is

Since the given function is a probability mass function, the total probability is one. That is \(\underset { x }{ \Sigma } f(x)=1\)
From the given data k + 2k + 6k + 5k + 6k +10k+1
\(30k=1\Rightarrow k=\frac { 1 }{ 30 } \)
Therefore the probability mass function is

| f(x) | \(\cfrac { 1 }{ 30 } \) | \(\cfrac { 2 }{ 30 } \) | \(\cfrac { 6 }{ 30 } \) | \(\cfrac { 5 }{ 30 } \) | \(\cfrac { 6 }{ 30 } \) | \(\cfrac { 10 }{ 30 } \) |

(ii) P(2≤X≤5) = f(2)+f(3)+f(4) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 30 } +\frac { 6 }{ 30 } +\frac { 5 }{ 30 } =\frac { 13 }{ 30 } \)
(iii) P(2≤4) = f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+f(4) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 30 } +\frac { 2 }{ 30 } +\frac { 6 }{ 30 } +\frac { 5 }{ 30 } =\frac { 14 }{ 30 } \)
(iv) P(3>X) = f(4)+f(5)+f(6) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 30 } +\frac { 6 }{ 30 } +\frac { 10 }{ 30 } =\frac { 21 }{ 30 } \)

Observe that the given distribution is continuous
By definition \(\mu =E(X)=\int _{ -\infty }^{ \infty }{ xf(x) } dx\) (We can also use integration by parts or Bernoulli’s formula)
= \(\int _{ -\infty }^{ 0 }{ 0\left( \lambda { e }^{ -2x } \right) dx } +\int _{ 0 }^{ \infty }{ x\left( { \lambda e }^{ -\lambda x } \right) } dx\)
= \(0+\lambda \int _{ 0 }^{ \infty }{ x\left( { e }^{ -\lambda x } \right) dx } \)
= \(0+\lambda \left( \frac { 1 }{ { \lambda }^{ 2 } } \right) \) (using Gamma integral for positive integer n,\(\int _{ 0 }^{ \infty }{ { x }^{ n } } { e }^{ -ax }dx=\cfrac { n }{ { a }^{ n+1 } } \))
= \(\frac { 1 }{ \lambda } \)
Variance :
By definition,\(E\left( { X }^{ 2 } \right) =\int _{ -\infty }^{ \infty }{ { x }^{ 2 }f(x) } dx\) (We can also use integration by parts or Bernoulli’s formula)
= \(\int _{ -\infty }^{ 0 }{ 0\left( \lambda { e }^{ -\lambda x } \right) } dx+\int _{ 0 }^{ \infty }{ { x }^{ 2 }\left( \lambda { e }^{ -2x } \right) } dx\)
= \(0+\lambda \int _{ 0 }^{ \infty }{ { x }^{ 2 }\left( { e }^{ -2x } \right) dx } \)
(using Gamma integral for positive integer)
Therefore Var(X ) = E(X2 )- E(X )2
= \(\frac { 2 }{ { \lambda }^{ 2 } } -\left( \frac { 1 }{ \lambda } \right) ^{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ { \lambda }^{ 2 } } \)
Hence the mean and variance are respectively \(\frac { 1 }{ \lambda } \) and \(\frac { 1 }{ { \lambda }^{ 2 } } \)
9.
(i) Since X denotes the number of success, X can take the values 0,1, 2, ...10
The probability for success is \(p=\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \) and for failure \(q=1-p=\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) and n = 10
Therefore X follows a binomial distribution denoted by \(X\sim B\left( 10,\frac { 1 }{ 4 } \right) \)
This gives,\(f(x)=\left( \begin{matrix} 10 \\ x \end{matrix} \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } \right) ^{ x }\left( \cfrac { 3 }{ 4 } \right) ^{ 10-x }\) x = 0, 1, 2,..,10
(ii) Probability for seven correct answers is
\(P(X=7)=f(7)=\left( \begin{matrix} 10 \\ 7 \end{matrix} \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } \right) ^{ 7 }\left( \cfrac { 3 }{ 4 } \right) ^{ 10-7 }=120\left( \cfrac { { 3 }^{ 2 } }{ { 4 }^{ 10 } } \right) \)
Probability that the student will get seven correct answers is \(120\left( \cfrac { { 3 }^{ 2 } }{ { 4 }^{ 10 } } \right) \)
(iii) Probability for at least one correct answer is
P(X ≥1) = 1- P(X <1) = 1- P(X = 0)
= \(1-\left( \begin{matrix} 10 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right) \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 4 } \right) ^{ 0 }\left( \cfrac { 3 }{ 4 } \right) ^{ 10 }=1-\left( \cfrac { 3 }{ 4 } \right) ^{ 10 }\)
Probability that the student will get for at least one correct answer is \(1-\left( \cfrac { 3 }{ 4 } \right) ^{ 10 }\)

Let X be a random variable whose values x are the number of fours.
The sample space S is given in the table.
It can also be written as
S = {(i, j)} , where i = 1, 2, 3, 6 and j = 1, 2, 3, 6
Therefore X takes on the values of 0, 1 and 2.
We observe that
(i) X = 0, if (i, j) for i ≠ 4, j≠ 4,
(ii) X = 1, if (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4), (5, 4), (6, 4), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(iii) X = 2, if (4, 4) ,
Therefore,

The probabilities are
\(f(0)=P(X=0)\cfrac { 25 }{ 36 } \)
\(f(1)=P(X=1)=\cfrac { 10 }{ 36 } \)
and \(f(20=P(X=2)=\cfrac { 1 }{ 36 } \)
Clearly the function f(x) satisfies the conditions
(i) f (x) ≥ 0, for x = 0, 1, 2 and
(ii) \(\underset { x }{ \Sigma } f(x)=\sum _{ x=0 }^{ x=-2 }{ f(x) } =f(0)+f(1)+f(2)=1\)
\(=\frac{25}{36}+\frac{10}{36}+\frac{1}{36}=1\)
The probability mass function is presented as
| x | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| f(x) | \(\frac { 25 }{ 36 } \) | \(\frac { 10 }{ 36 } \) | \(\frac { 1 }{ 36 } \) |
(or)
\(f(x)=\begin{cases} \begin{matrix} \frac { 25 }{ 36 } & for \ x=0 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} \frac { 10 }{ 36 } & for \ x=1 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} \frac { 1 }{ 36 } & for \ x=2 \end{matrix} \end{cases}\)
