Find the binomial distribution for which the mean is 4 and variance 3.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `np=4` and `npq=3`
`therefore {npq}/{np}=3/4`
`implies q=3/4` and `p=1/4` and `n=16`
Binomial distribution is `P(X=r)=^nC_rp^rq^{n-r}`
`P(X=15)=^16C_15(1/4)^{15}(13/4)^{16-15}`
`P(X=15) =3/4^{14}`
