An urn contains 1 white, 2 black, 3 red, and 4 green balls. If 6 balls are selected randomly (without replacement) and X represents the number of selections that are either red or green, find: (a) the probability mass function for X. (b) the expected value of X (calculate this value directly by using the probability mass function from part a).
