The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the binomial distribution parameters given that \( n = 5 \) and the sum of the mean and variance is \( 1.8 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Mean and Variance of a Binomial Distribution**: - For a binomial distribution with parameters \( n \) and \( p \): - Mean \( \mu = np \) - Variance \( \sigma^2 = npq \) where \( q = 1 - p \) 2. **Set Up the Equation**: - We know from the problem that the sum of the mean and variance is \( 1.8 \): \[ np + npq = 1.8 \] - Substitute \( q \) with \( 1 - p \): \[ np + np(1 - p) = 1.8 \] - This simplifies to: \[ np + np - np^2 = 1.8 \] \[ 2np - np^2 = 1.8 \] 3. **Substitute \( n \)**: - Since \( n = 5 \): \[ 2(5)p - (5)p^2 = 1.8 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 10p - 5p^2 = 1.8 \] 4. **Rearrange the Equation**: - Rearranging gives us: \[ 5p^2 - 10p + 1.8 = 0 \] 5. **Multiply through by 10 to eliminate decimals**: - To make calculations easier, multiply the entire equation by 10: \[ 50p^2 - 100p + 18 = 0 \] 6. **Use the Quadratic Formula**: - The quadratic formula is given by: \[ p = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] - Here, \( a = 50 \), \( b = -100 \), and \( c = 18 \): \[ p = \frac{100 \pm \sqrt{(-100)^2 - 4 \cdot 50 \cdot 18}}{2 \cdot 50} \] \[ p = \frac{100 \pm \sqrt{10000 - 3600}}{100} \] \[ p = \frac{100 \pm \sqrt{6400}}{100} \] \[ p = \frac{100 \pm 80}{100} \] 7. **Calculate the Values of \( p \)**: - This gives us two possible values for \( p \): \[ p = \frac{180}{100} = 1.8 \quad (\text{not valid since } p \leq 1) \] \[ p = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2 \] 8. **Calculate \( q \)**: - Since \( q = 1 - p \): \[ q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 \] 9. **Write the Binomial Distribution**: - The binomial distribution can now be expressed as: \[ P(X = x) = \binom{5}{x} (0.2)^x (0.8)^{5-x} \] - Where \( x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 \). ### Final Answer: The binomial distribution is: \[ P(X = x) = \binom{5}{x} (0.2)^x (0.8)^{5-x} \]
