Hypergeometric Distribution Expectation example question

A ball is chosen at random from each of 5 urns. Each urn contains balls as follows:

urn 1: 1 white, 5 black

urn 2: 3 white, 3 black

urn 3: 6 white, 4 black

urn 4: 2 white, 6 black

urn 5: 3 white, 7 black

Compute the expected number of white balls selected.
