990. Suppose that two cards are drawn at random from a deck of cards. Let X be the number of aces obtained. Then the value of E(X) is
  • 37 over 221
  • 5 over 13
  • 1 over 13
  • 1 over 13


X is the number of aces obtained. So, X can take values 0, 1, 2.
              straight P left parenthesis straight X space equals space 0 right parenthesis space equals space straight P left parenthesis no space ace space is space drawn right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator straight C presuperscript 48 subscript 2 over denominator straight C presuperscript 52 subscript 2 end fraction space equals fraction numerator 48 space cross times space 47 over denominator 52 space cross times space 51 end fraction space equals space 188 over 221
straight P left parenthesis straight X space equals space 1 right parenthesis space equals space straight P left parenthesis one space ace space and space non minus ace right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator straight C presuperscript 4 subscript 1 cross times straight C presuperscript 48 subscript 1 over denominator straight C presuperscript 52 subscript 2 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 4 space cross times space 48 over denominator begin display style fraction numerator 52 space cross times 51 over denominator 1 space cross times 2 end fraction end style end fraction
space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals space fraction numerator 4 space cross times space 48 space cross times space 1 space cross times space 2 over denominator 52 space cross times space 51 end fraction space equals space 32 over 221

and straight P left parenthesis straight X space equals space 2 right parenthesis space equals space straight P left parenthesis two space aces space are space drawn right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator straight C presuperscript 4 subscript 2 over denominator straight C presuperscript 52 subscript 2 end fraction space equals fraction numerator 4 space cross times space 3 over denominator 52 space cross times space 51 end fraction space equals space 1 over 221
∴      probability distribution of X is


therefore space space space straight E left parenthesis straight X right parenthesis space equals space sum straight x space straight P left parenthesis straight X right parenthesis space equals space 0 space cross times 188 over 221 plus 1 space cross times space 32 over 221 plus 2 space cross times 1 over 221
space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals space 0 plus 32 over 221 plus 2 over 221 space equals space 34 over 221 space equals 2 over 13.

∴    (D) is correct answer.
