This problem involves the selection of two students from a committee of students. Assume that the committee is made up of 3 males and 2 females. Two are selected at random, and a random variable X is defined to be the number of females selected. a. How many different values are possible for the random variable X? b. Complete the probability density function. Be certain to list the values of X in ascending order.
