X P(X=x) Geoff is running a carnival game. He has 15 marbles in a bag: there are 4 green marbles, 7 red marbles and 4 yellow marbles. To play a round of the game, a player randomly takes out a marble from the bag, notes the color and replaces it, then pulls a second marble from the bag and notes the color. So in effect, the player pulls 2 marbles from the bag. (However, the first marble is put back...
