Let X denote the number of defective bulbs in a sample of 3 bulbs drawn from a bag containing 13 bulbs. 5 bulbs in the bag turn out to be defective. Then, X can take the values 0, 1, 2 and 3.
Now, P(X=0)=P(no defective bulb)=8C313C3=56286=28143
P(X=1)=P(1 defective bulb)=5C1×8C213C3=140286=70143
P(X=2)=P(2 defective bulbs)=5C2×8C113C3=80286=40143
P(X=3)=P(3 defective bulbs)=5C313C3=10286=5143
Thus, the probability distribution of X is given by
XP(X)02814317014324014335143
