Part 1: Seventeen items are found in a box, eight of which are observed to exhibit a particularly desirable property. Suppose six of these items are randomly selected from the box without replacement and let X be the random variable representing the number among the six that exhibit the desirable property.
Compute (round answer to four decimal places) P(X = 4) =
Part 2 : The probability of observing a certain event is 0.4. Suppose we make repeated observations until we have observed the desired event two times.What is the probability that we make four observations in order to have observed the desired event two times.?
