1) An urn contains 10 balls, 2 red, 5 blue, and 3 green balls. Take out 3 balls at a random, without replacement. You win $2 for each green ball you select and lose $3 for each red ball you select. Let the random variable X denote the amount you win, determine the probability mass function of X.
2) Each of the 60 students in a class belongs to exactly one of the three groups A,B, or C. The membership numbers for the 3 groups are as follows:
A: 15 students
B: 20 C: 25 First, Next,
a. b. c.

choose one of the 60 students at random and let X be the size of
that student’s group;.
choose one of the 3 groups at random and let Y be its size.
Write down the pmf for X and Y.
