A box contains 15 green and 10 yellow balls. If 10 balls are randomly drawn, one -by - one with replacement, then the variance of the number of green balls drawn, is

A

`(12)/(5)`

B

6

C

4

D

`(6)/(25)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Let X denote the number of green balls in a draw 10 balls one-day one with replacement. Then,X is a binomial variate with
`n=10,p=(15)/(25)=(3)/(5)and q=(2)/(5)`
`therefore` Variance `X=npq=10xx(3)/(5)xx(2)/(5)=(12)/(5)`.
