TOPIC: PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION

1. Let 𝑋 be a random variable which assumes values 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , 𝑥3 , 𝑥4 such that


2𝑃(𝑋 = 𝑥1 ) = 3𝑃(𝑋 = 𝑥2 ) = 𝑃(𝑋 = 𝑥3 ) = 5𝑃(𝑋 = 𝑥4 ). Find the probability
distribution of 𝑋.

2. A bag contains 1 red and 3 white balls. Find the probability distribution of the
number of red balls if 2 balls are drawn at random from the bag one-by-one
without replacement.

3. Four bad oranges are mixed accidently with 16 good oranges. Find the
probability distribution of the number of bad oranges in a draw of two oranges.

4. Find the probability distribution of the maximum of the two scores obtained
when a die is thrown twice. Determine also the mean of the distribution

5. Two cards are drawn successively from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards with
replacement. Find the probability distribution of number of spade cards drawn.

6. There are 5 cards numbered 1 to 5, one number on one card. Two cards are
drawn at random without replacement. Let 𝑋 denote the sum of the numbers
on two cards drawn. Find the mean of 𝑋.

7. A pair of dice is tossed. If the number appearing on the top is less than 3, it is a
success. Find the probability distribution of success.
