Three rotten apples are mixed accidentally with seven good apples and four apples are drawn one by one without replacement. Let the random variable $X$ denote the number of rotten apples. If $\mu$ and $\sigma^2$ represent the mean and variance of $X$,respectively,then $10(\mu^2 + \sigma^2)$ is equal to

Let $X$ be a random variable such that the probability function of a distribution is given by $P(X=0) = \frac{1}{2}$ and $P(X=j) = \frac{1}{3^j}$ for $j = 1, 2, 3, \ldots, \infty$. Then the mean of the distribution and $P(X \text{ is positive and even})$ respectively are:
