An urn contains nine $1 bills and one $20 bill. Let the random variable X be the total amount that results when two bills are drawn from the urn without replacement.
(a) Describe the sample space S of the random experiment and specify the brobabilities of its elementary events.
(b) Show the mapping from S to Sx, the range of X.
(c) Find the prababilities for the various valuses of X.
(d) What is the prabability that the amount is more than $2? And more than $20?
(e) Find the expected value and variance of the amount drawn from the urn.

A bag contains six 1 dollar bills, three 5 dollar bills, and two 10 dollar bills. An experiment consists of drawing three random bills from the bag simultaneously. Thus, the experiment has C(11,3)=165 equally likely outcomes in its sample space. What is the probability that at most one 5 dollar bill was drawn, given that no 10 dollar bills were drawn?
