Sol. Given, refrigerator box contains 2 milk chocolates and 4 dark chocolates. 2 chcolates are
drawn at random, we have to find the probability distribution of milk chocolats. Let X
denotes the probability distribution, then X will have the value 0, 1 and 2. Now probability

distribution of milk chocolates P (X = 0) i.e., No milk chocolate =

P (X = 1) i.e., One milk chocolate =

P (X = 2) i.e., both milk chocolates=
