Q28 of 99 Page 33

Three cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well - shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the mean and variance of some red cards.

Let p = probability of drawing a red card




Let a number of the red cards drawn be X.


X follows a binomial distribution with,



The required binomial distribution is given by,



So, mean = np
