Detailed Solution

Let X denote the no. of good apples. 

P (drawing good apple) =2024=56

P (drawing bad apple) =424=16

Here X takes the values 0, 1, 2, 3.

Now P(X=0)=C0  316 16 16=C0  3163=1216

         P(X=1)=C1  356 16 16 =C1  3 563=15216 P(X=2)=C2  3 56 56 16 =C2  3 5263=75216 P(X=3)=C3  3563=125216

Mean =E(x)= xP(x)

                        =0+115216+275216+3125216 =540216=52
