The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( n \) given that the frequencies of the observations \( 1, 2, 2^2, \ldots, 2^n \) are \( \binom{n}{0}, \binom{n}{1}, \binom{n}{2}, \ldots, \binom{n}{n} \) respectively, and that the mean of these observations is \( \frac{729}{2^n} \). ### Step 1: Set up the observations and frequencies We have the observations: - \( x_0 = 1 \) - \( x_1 = 2 \) - \( x_2 = 2^2 \) - ... - \( x_n = 2^n \) The corresponding frequencies are: - \( f_0 = \binom{n}{0} \) - \( f_1 = \binom{n}{1} \) - \( f_2 = \binom{n}{2} \) - ... - \( f_n = \binom{n}{n} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the mean The mean \( \bar{x} \) is given by the formula: \[ \bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} \] Where \( \sum f_i = \binom{n}{0} + \binom{n}{1} + \binom{n}{2} + \ldots + \binom{n}{n} = 2^n \) (by the binomial theorem). Now, we calculate \( \sum f_i x_i \): \[ \sum f_i x_i = 1 \cdot \binom{n}{0} + 2 \cdot \binom{n}{1} + 2^2 \cdot \binom{n}{2} + \ldots + 2^n \cdot \binom{n}{n} \] This can be simplified using the binomial theorem: \[ \sum f_i x_i = (1 + 2)^n = 3^n \] ### Step 3: Substitute into the mean formula Now substituting back into the mean formula: \[ \bar{x} = \frac{3^n}{2^n} \] ### Step 4: Set the mean equal to the given value We are given that the mean is \( \frac{729}{2^n} \): \[ \frac{3^n}{2^n} = \frac{729}{2^n} \] ### Step 5: Cancel \( 2^n \) and solve for \( n \) Cancelling \( 2^n \) from both sides gives: \[ 3^n = 729 \] ### Step 6: Express 729 as a power of 3 We know that \( 729 = 3^6 \), so: \[ 3^n = 3^6 \] ### Step 7: Equate the exponents This implies: \[ n = 6 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( n \) is \( \boxed{6} \).
