A discrete random variable X has the distribution B(15, p) . Given that Var (X)=3.15 . Then, the two possible values of p are
Options
- A0,1
- B0.1,0.9
- C0.4,0.6
- D0.3,0.7
Correct answer
D. 0.3,0.7
Step-by-step solution
aligned & Here, n=15, q=1-p & Var (X)=315 ; n p q=315 & 15 p(1-p)=315 & p-p^2=0.21 p^2-p+0.21=0 & p^2-0.7 p-0.3 p+0.21=0 & p(p-0.7)-0.3(p-0.7)=0 & p=0.7,0.3 aligned
