A die is tossed thrice. Getting an even number is considered as success. What is the variance of the binomial distribution?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `n=3`
`p =` Probability of getting an even number in a one throw of a dice `p= frac{3}{6}= frac{1}{2}`

We know that, `q=1−p=1− frac{1}{2}=frac{1}{2}`
Therefore, Variance` = npq=3 times frac{1}{2} times frac{1}{2}`
Variance` = frac{3}{4}`
