Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)

X012
P(X)1/41/21/4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total ways to choose 2 eggs: \( \binom{10}{2} = 45 \) \( P(X=0) = \frac{\binom{3}{0}\binom{7}{2}}{\binom{10}{2}} = \frac{1 \times 21}{45} = \frac{7}{15} \) \( P(X=1) = \frac{\binom{3}{1}\binom{7}{1}}{\binom{10}{2}} = \frac{3 \times 7}{45} = \frac{7}{15} \)…
