In a group of 10 ​batteries, 5 are dead. You choose 2 batteries at random. ​a) Create a probability model for the number of good batteries you get. ​b) What's the expected number of good ones you​ get? ​c) What's the standard​ deviation?

Answer:

You have 10 batteries of which 5 are dead. That means 1/2 of the batteries are dead.  So if you randomly select a battery, there is a 50% chance of selecting a dead one, or a good one.  But since you're choosing 2, that means the first one you select has a 50% chance of being dead or good, (5/10), but then the second one has a 44% chance of being dead or good, (4/9).  multiplying these, you get 22% chance of randomly selecting 2 good batteries.
