Question 27 (Choice 2) Find the mean number of defective items in a sample of two items drawn one-by-one without replacement from an urn containing 6 items, which include 2 defective items. Assume that the items are identical in shape and size.
Let X : Number of defective items drawn
Since there are maximum of 2 defective items
We can get 0, 1 or 2 defective items
So, X = 0 or X = 1 or X = 2
Finding probabilities separately
For X = 0
Two items drawn, without replacement, 0 are defective
P(X = 0) = P(not defective) × P(not defective)
= 4/6 × 3/5
= 𝟐/𝟓
For X = 1
Two items drawn, without replacement, 1 is defective
P(X = 1) = P(not defective) × P(defective) + P(defective) × P(not defective)
= 𝟒/𝟔 × 𝟐/𝟓 + 𝟐/𝟔 × 𝟒/𝟓
= 8/30+8/30
= 16/30
= 𝟖/𝟏𝟓
For X = 2
Two items drawn, without replacement, 2 are defective
P(X = 2) = P(defective) × P(defective)
= 2/6 × 1/5
= 𝟏/𝟏𝟓
So, probability distribution is
Now,
We need to find Mean or Expectation of X
Mean or Expectation of X
= E(X)
= ∑_(𝒊 = 𝟏)^𝒏▒𝒙𝒊𝒑𝒊
= 0 ×2/5+1 × 8/15+2 × 1/15
= 8/15+ 2/15
= 10/15
= 𝟐/𝟑
