Question 1189854: Construct the probability distribution for the random vanables described in each of the following stations Draw the coresponding histogram each probability distribution.
1. A shipment of five computers contains that are slightly defective If a retailer receives three of these computers at random, list the elements of the sample space S using the letters D and N for defective and non-defective computers, respectively To each sample point, assign a value x of the random variable X representing the number of computers purchased by the retailer which are slightly defective.
2. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement from an urn containing 5 red balls and 6 blue balls. Let Z be the random variable representing the number of blue balls. Find the values of the random variable Z.

For problem 1, you wrote:
"A shipment of five computers contains _____ that are slightly defective"
I added the red blank to indicate that a number should go there. That's my guess anyway. Without this number, it's impossible to answer question 1. Please make a repost with this value.

I already answered question 2 here

(1)   In problem 1, you missed something, where I wrote in read.

        Fix it and re-post to the forum.

        Please do not post it to me personally.



(2)   Possible values of the random variable Z are 0, 1, and 2.
