i need help with this
A shipment contains 20 assembled circuit boards of which five are defective. Ten circuit boards from the shipment are selected without replacement. Suppose that X denotes the number of defective boards out of the 10 selected. Find the probability distribution of the random variable X and then find its mean and variance.Solution
total number of circuits=N=20
sample size=n=10 drawn without replacement.
number of defectives=5
X denotes the number of defectives in the sample
so X~Hypergeometric(20,5,10)
so the distribution of X is
X p(X)
0 0.016254
1 0.135449
2 0.348297
3 0.348297
4 0.135449
5 0.016254
mean=1*0.135449+2*0.348297+3*0.348297+4*0.135449+5*0.016254=2.5
variance=12*0.135449+22*0.348297+32*0.348297+42*0.135449+52*0.016254-2.52=0.986844
