Answer:
Explanation:
a. The range of G is the set of possible values that G can take. G represents the distribution over the number of girls chosen, so G can take any value between 0 and 2, inclusive. That is, the range of G is {0, 1, 2}.
b. To give the distribution over the random variable G, we need to determine the probability of each possible value of G.
Let's consider each possible value of G in turn:
If no girls are chosen (G=0), then both representatives must be boys. The probability of choosing a boy on the first draw is 3/10, and the probability of choosing another boy on the second draw is 2/9 (since there are only 2 boys left). Therefore, the probability of G=0 is (3/10) * (2/9) = 1/15.
If one girl is chosen (G=1), then one representative must be a girl and the other must be a boy. There are two ways this can happen: either the girl is chosen first and then the boy, or the boy is chosen first and then the girl. The probability of choosing a girl on the first draw is 7/10, and the probability of choosing a boy on the second draw is 3/9 (since there are 3 boys left). The probability of choosing a boy on the first draw is 3/10, and the probability of choosing a girl on the second draw is 7/9 (since there are 7 girls left). Therefore, the probability of G=1 is (7/10) * (3/9) + (3/10) * (7/9) = 14/45.
If two girls are chosen (G=2), then both representatives must be girls. The probability of choosing a girl on the first draw is 7/10, and the probability of choosing another girl on the second draw is 6/9 (since there are 6 girls left). Therefore, the probability of G=2 is (7/10) * (6/9) = 7/15.
Therefore, the distribution over the random variable G is:
G=0 with probability 1/15
G=1 with probability 14/45
G=2 with probability 7/15
