For a binimial variate X with n=6, if P(...

For a binimial variate X with n=6, if `P(X=4)=(135)/(2^(12))` then its variance is

A

`(8)/(9)`

B

`(1)/(4)`

C

`(9)/(8)`

D

4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c ) We have, `" " ""^(6)C_(4)p^(4).q^(2)=(135)/(2^(12))`
`rArr " " 15 p^(4).q^(2)=(135)/(2^(12)) rArr p^(4).q^(2)=(9)/(2^(12))`
`p^(2)q=(3)/(2^(6))`
`p^(2)(1-p)=(3)/(64)=((1)/(4))^(2)(1-(1)/(4))` ,brgt Clearly, `" " p=(1)/(4)`
`:. " "` Variance=npq`=6.(1)/(4)xx(3)/(4)=(9)/(8)`
