From a lot of 10 items containing 3 defectives, a sample of 4 items is drawn at random. Let X denotes the number of defective items in the sample. If the sample is drawn randomly, then Match List-I with List-II (P(X) denotes the probability of occurence of X)

List-IList-II
(A) P (X = 0)(I) 3C3×7C110C4\dfrac{^3C_3\times{}^7C_1}{^{10}C_4}
(B) P (X = 1)(II) 7C4×3C010C4\dfrac{^7C_4\times{}^3C_0}{^{10}C_4}
(C) P (X = 2)(III) 3C1×7C310C4\dfrac{^3C_1\times{}^7C_3}{^{10}C_4}
(D) P (X = 3)(IV) 3C2×7C210C4\dfrac{^3C_2\times{}^7C_2}{^{10}C_4}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Choose XX defectives from 3 and the remaining 4−X4-X from the 7 good items, divided by 10C4^{10}C_4. So P(X=0)P(X=0) uses 7C4 3C0^7C_4\,{}^3C_0, P(X=1)P(X=1) uses 3C1 7C3^3C_1\,{}^7C_3, P(X=2)P(X=2) uses 3C2 7C2^3C_2\,{}^7C_2, and P(X=3)P(X=3) uses 3C3 7C1^3C_3\,{}^7C_1.
