  • question_answer
    The mean and the variance of binomial distribution are 4 and 2 respectively. Then the probability of 2 successes is

    A) \[\frac{28}{256}\]

    B) \[\frac{219}{256}\]

    C) \[\frac{128}{256}\]       

    D) \[\frac{37}{256}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Mean \[=np=4\] and variance \[=npq=2\] \[\therefore p=q=\frac{1}{2}\,\,and\,\,n=8\] \[\therefore \]P (2 success) \[=\,{{\,}^{8}}{{C}_{2}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{6}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{28}{{{2}^{8}}}=\frac{28}{256}\]
