Answer #1

Total number of chips; 5+10+5 = 20

It is given that out of 4 draws one is blue so number of chips remaining is 20-1 = 19 out of which 5-1 = 4 are blue and 10 are green.

Let X is a random variable shows the number of green chips out of remaining 3. So here X will have hyper geometric distribution with parameters as follow:

Population size: N = 19

Sample size: n=3

Number of successes in population: k = 10

The probability mass function of X is

Following table shows the pmf:

X P(X=x)
0 0.086687307
1 0.371517028
2 0.417956656
3 0.123839009
