Two balls are drawn at random from a bag containing $\displaystyle 2$ red balls and $\displaystyle 3$ blue balls, without replacement. Let the variable X denotes the number of red balls. Find the probability distribution of X.
Marking-scheme solution
| \(\displaystyle X\) | $\displaystyle 0$ | $\displaystyle 1$ | $\displaystyle 2$ |
| \(\displaystyle P(X)\) | \(\displaystyle \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{4}=\frac{3}{10}\) | \(\displaystyle 2\left(\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}\right)=\frac{6}{10}\) | \(\displaystyle \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{10}\) |
