A bag contains \(4\) white and \(6\) black balls. Three balls are drawn at random from the bag. Let \(X\) be the number of white balls, among the drawn balls. If \(\sigma^{2}\) is the variance of \(X\), then \(100 \sigma^{2}\) is equal to.

  1. A \(55\)
  2. B \(54\)
  3. C \(56\)
  4. D \(53\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(56\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(X\) \(0\) \(1\) \(2\) \(3\) \(P(X)\) \(\frac{1}{6}\) \(\frac{1}{2}\) \(\frac{3}{10}\) \(\frac{1}{30}\) \(\sigma^{2}=\sum X ^{2} P ( X )-\left(\sum XP ( X )\right)^{2}=\frac{56}{100}\) \(100 \sigma^{2}=56\)
