Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.25

P(X = 1) = 0.75

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The probability distribution of X.

3 red balls out of 4, one picked, so we can have either 0 red balls or 1 red ball. The probability disitribution is the probability of each outcome.


P(X = 0) = (1)/(4) = 0.25


P(X = 1) = (3)/(4) = 0.75
