The sum and product of the mean and variance of a binomial distribution are 82.582 . 5 and 13501350 respectively. They the number of trials in the binomial distribution is

Correct answer

96

Step-by-step solution

Given, sum of mean and variance is 82.582 . 5

Product of roots is 13501350

Now, Mean and variance are the roots of

x2−(sum of roots)x+product of roots=0{x}^{2} - \left(\text{sum of roots}\right)x + \text{product of roots} = 0

⇒x2−82.5x+1350=0⇒ {x}^{2} - 82 . 5x + 1350 = 0

⇒x=60or22.5⇒ x = 60\text{or}22 . 5

So, mean =np=60= np = 60 and variance =npq=22.5= npq = 22 . 5

⇒q=22.560=38⇒ q = \dfrac{22 . 5}{60} = \dfrac{3}{8}

So, p=58p = \dfrac{5}{8} and n=6058=96n = \dfrac{60}{\dfrac{5}{8}} = 96
