    Two cards are drawn successively with replacement from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards then the mean of the number of aces is                                     [J & K 2005]

    A)                 1/13       

    B)                 3/13

    C)                 2/13       

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Let X denote a random variable which is the number of aces. Clearly, X takes values, 1, 2.                    \ \[p=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13},\] \[q=1-\frac{1}{13}=\frac{12}{13}\]                    \[P(X=1)=2\times \left( \frac{1}{13} \right)\times \left( \frac{12}{13} \right)=\frac{24}{169}\]                    \[P(X=2)=2.{{\left( \frac{1}{13} \right)}^{2}}{{\left( \frac{12}{13} \right)}^{0}}=\frac{1}{169}\]                                 Mean = \[\sum\limits_{{}}^{{}}{{{P}_{i}}{{X}_{i}}}=\frac{24}{169}+\frac{2}{169}=\frac{26}{169}=\frac{2}{13}\].
