Given twelve civilians who are wearing socks and each one of them have various (unique) styles. An authority asked all the civilians to place their socks all in one container, jumbling them all, and he randomly selected 6 pieces of socks. Given a random variable X, which is the amount of matching sets or pairs of socks, find the probability mass function of variable X. Also give the moment-generating function of X and utilize it to find the mean and variance of X
