From a lot of \(12\) items containing \(3\) defectives, a sample of \(5\) items is drawn at random. Let the random variable \(\mathrm{X}\) denote the number of defective items in the sample. Let items in the sample be drawn one by one without replacement. If variance of \(X\) is \(\frac{m}{n}\), where \(\operatorname{gcd}(m, n)=1\), then \(n-m\) is equal to ...........

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(71\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mathrm{a}=1-\frac{{ }^3 \mathrm{C}_5}{{ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_5} \) \( \mathrm{~b}=3 \cdot \frac{{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_4}{{ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_5} \) \( \mathrm{c}=3 \cdot \frac{{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_3}{{ }^{12} \mathrm{C}_5} \)…
