The random variable XX follows binomial distribution B(n,p)B ( n, p ), for which the difference of the mean and the variance is 11.

If 2P(X=2)=3P(X=1)2P ( X = 2 ) = 3P ( X = 1 ), then n2P(X>1){n}^{2}P ( X > 1 ) is equal to

Options

  1. A1515
  2. B1111
  3. C1212
  4. D1616

Correct answer

B. 1111

Step-by-step solution

Given that the difference between the mean and variance is 11.

⇒np−npq=1⇒ np - npq = 1

⇒np(1−q)=1⇒ np ( 1 - q ) = 1

⇒np2=1⇒ n{p}^{2} = 1

Also given that,

⇒2P(X=2)=3P(X=1)⇒ 2P ( X = 2 ) = 3P ( X = 1 )

⇒2⋅C2np2qn−2=3⋅C1np⋅qn−1⇒ 2 \cdot C2 n {p}^{2}{q}^{n - 2} = 3 \cdot C1 n p \cdot {q}^{n - 1}

⇒2⋅n⋅(n−1)2⋅p=3⋅n⋅q⇒ 2 \cdot \dfrac{n \cdot ( n - 1 )}{2} \cdot p = 3 \cdot n \cdot q

⇒(n−1)p=3(1−p)⇒ ( n - 1 ) p = 3 ( 1 - p )

⇒(1p2−1)p=3(1−p)⇒ \left(\dfrac{1}{{p}^{2}} - 1\right)p = 3 ( 1 - p )

⇒(1−p)(1+p)p=3(1−p)⇒ \dfrac{( 1 - p ) ( 1 + p )}{p} = 3 ( 1 - p )

⇒1+p=3p⇒ 1 + p = 3p

⇒p=12⇒ p = \dfrac{1}{2}

∴n=4∴ n = 4.

Now,

n2P(x>1)=n2(1−P(x=1)−P(x=0)){n}^{2}P ( x > 1 ) = {n}^{2} ( 1 - P ( x = 1 ) - P ( x = 0 ) )=16(1−C14⋅(12)4−(12)4)=11= 16\left(1 - C1 4 \cdot {\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{4} - {\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{4}\right) = 11

Hence this is the correct option.
