Here's the Solution to this Question

Let X= the random variable representing the number of black balls in result.

There are 5+6=11 balls. Then


P(W)=5/11,P(B)=6/11


S=\{WW, WB, BW, BB\}

The posiible value of X: 0, 1, 2.


P(X=0)=P(WW)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{0}\dbinom{5}{2-0}}{\dbinom{11}{2}}

=\dfrac{1(10)}{55}=\dfrac{2}{11}


P(X=1)=P(WB)+P(BW)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{1}\dbinom{5}{2-1}}{\dbinom{11}{2}}

=\dfrac{6(5)}{55}=\dfrac{6}{11}


P(X=2)=P(BB)=\dfrac{\dbinom{6}{2}\dbinom{5}{2-2}}{\dbinom{11}{2}}

=\dfrac{15(1)}{55}=\dfrac{3}{11}



Construct the probability distribution of the random variable X


\begin{matrix} x & 0 & 1 & 2 \\ p(x) & 2/11 & 6/11 & 3/11 \end{matrix}
