Hypergeometric Mean and Variance via Indicator Variables

题目

An urn contains 20 balls: 8 red and 12 blue. You draw 5 balls without replacement. Let XX be the number of red balls drawn. Define indicator variables Xi=1{ball i is red}X_i = \mathbf{1}\{\text{ball } i \text{ is red}\} for each draw i=1,,5i = 1, \ldots, 5.

(a) Use linearity of expectation to find E[X]E[X].

(b) Compute Cov(Xi,Xj)\text{Cov}(X_i, X_j) for iji \ne j and use it to derive Var(X)\text{Var}(X).

(c) Verify that your variance formula reduces to the binomial variance np(1p)np(1-p) when NN \to \infty with K/NpK/N \to p held fixed.
