A bag contains 4 white and 6 black balls. Three balls are drawn at random from the bag. Let X\mathrm{X} be the number of white balls, among the drawn balls. If σ2\sigma^{2} is the variance of X\mathrm{X} , then 100σ2100 \sigma^{2} is equal to ________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

X=X = Number of white ball drawn

P(X=0)=6C310C3=16P(X = 0) = {{{}^6{C_3}} \over {{}^{10}{C_3}}} = {1 \over 6}

P(X=1)=6C2×4C110C3=12,P(X = 1) = {{{}^6{C_2} \times {}^4{C_1}} \over {{}^{10}{C_3}}} = {1 \over 2},

P(X=2)=6C1×4C210C3=310P(X = 2) = {{{}^6{C_1} \times {}^4{C_2}} \over {{}^{10}{C_3}}} = {3 \over {10}}

and P(X=3)=6C0×4C310C3=130P(X = 3) = {{{}^6{C_0} \times {}^4{C_3}} \over {{}^{10}{C_3}}} = {1 \over {30}}

Variance =σ2=∑PiXi2−(∑PiXi)2= {\sigma ^2} = \sum {{P_i}X_i^2 - {{\left( {\sum {{P_i}{X_i}} } \right)}^2}}

σ2=12+1210+310−(12+610+110)2{\sigma ^2} = {1 \over 2} + {{12} \over {10}} + {3 \over {10}} - {\left( {{1 \over 2} + {6 \over {10}} + {1 \over {10}}} \right)^2}

=56100= {{56} \over {100}}

100σ2=56.100{\sigma ^2} = 56.
