Write the probability distribution of a random variable R representing the number
of red balls when 3 balls are drawn in succession without replacement from a jar
containing 4 reds and 5 blue balls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


There are 4 possible values for  R :   they are  0,  1,  2  and  3.

Notice that the total balls is   4 + 5 = 9.


R = 0 :  P(0) =  =  =  = .


R = 1 :  P(1) =  =  =  = .


R = 2 :  P(2) =  =  =  = .


R = 3 :  P(3) =  =  =  = .



I intentionally left these fractions in this form, not fully reduced.


You can easily check that the sum of all probabilities equals to 1.

Solved.
