The mean and variance of a binomial distribution are α and (α)/(3)...

The mean and variance of a binomial distribution are α\alpha and α3\dfrac{\alpha}{3} respectively. If P(X=1)=4243P\left(X = 1\right) = \dfrac{4}{243}, then P(X=4or5)P\left(X = 4or5\right) is equal to:

Options

  1. A59\dfrac{5}{9}
  2. B6481\dfrac{64}{81}
  3. C1627\dfrac{16}{27}
  4. D145243\dfrac{145}{243}

Correct answer

C. 1627\dfrac{16}{27}
