Ques. 1JEE Main 2024, 31 January (Morning Shift)

Three rotten apples are accidentally mixed with fifteen good apples. Assuming the random variable x to be the number of rotten apples in a draw of two apples, the variance of x is

  1. 57153
  2. 40153
  3. 37153
  4. 47153

Answer

(2) 40153

Solution

x=0, 1, 2; total ways =18C2=153

P(0)= 15C2153= 105153, P(1)= 3 15153= 45153, P(2)= 3C2153= 3153

E(x)= 45+2 3153= 51153= 13, E(x2)= 45+4 3153= 57153

Var(x)=E(x2)-[E(x)]2= 57153- 19

= 57-17153= 40153
