Question 28 (Choice 1) A refrigerator box contains 2 milk chocolates and 4 dark chocolates. Two chocolates are drawn at random. Find the probability distribution of the number of milk chocolates. What is the most likely outcome?
Let X: Number of Milk Chocolates
Since there are 2 Milk Chocolates
We can get 0, 1, 2 Milk Chocolates
So, value of X can be 0, 1, 2
Probability of 0 Milk Chocolate (X = 0)
So, we select 2 chocolates, and none are milk chocolates
Probability (X = 0) = 4/6 × 3/5
= 𝟏𝟐/𝟑𝟎
Probability of 1 Milk Chocolate (X = 1)
So, we select 2 chocolates, and 1 is milk chocolates
Probability (X = 1) = 2/6 × 4/5 + 4/5 × 2/6
= 2 × 8/30
= 𝟏𝟔/𝟑𝟎
Probability of 2 Milk Chocolate (X = 2)
So, we select 2 chocolates, and both are milk chocolates
Probability (X = 2) = 2/6 × 1/5 + 2/6 × 1/5
= 2 × 2/30
= 𝟒/𝟑𝟎
So, our distribution looks like
Thus, getting 1 milk chocolate is the most likely outcome
