asked 10/30/17There is total batch of 100 products. 10 of the products are faulty. 2 products are taken randomly
a) Create a probability distribution chart for X?
b) Calculate E(X)E(X), the expected value for X ?
I have tried to represent this by a binomial distribution.
P(0)=2C0∗(0,1)0∗(0,9)2=0,81P(0)=2C0∗(0,1)0∗(0,9)2=0,81
P(1)=2C1∗(0,1)1∗(0,9)1=0,18P(1)=2C1∗(0,1)1∗(0,9)1=0,18
P(2)=2C2∗(0,1)2∗(0,9)0=0,01P(2)=2C2∗(0,1)2∗(0,9)0=0,01
so probability distribution for X
x 0 1 2
---------------------------
p 0,81 0,18 0,01
and expected value for X.
E(X)=x1∗p1+x2∗p2+x3∗p3
Right answer for E(X) is 0,2011. Can't get it.

Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
expected value = mean = np = 10(.10) = 1 defective in sample of 10 of the 100
select 2 without replacement
1/10 chance 1st is defect, 9/99 = 1/11 chance 2nd is a defect
chance both are defects = .(1/10)(1/11) = 1/110
expected value of x = 10/110 = 1/11
you get 1 for mean of 1 selection
then np = 9(9/99= 9/11 = expected number of defects on 2nd selection
1 9/11 = exp(x) for 2 selections
