Let X be a random variable having binomial distribution B(7, p) ....

Let XX be a random variable having binomial distribution B(7,p)B\left(7, p\right). If P(X=3)=5P(X=4)P\left(X = 3\right) = 5P\left(X = 4\right), then the sum of the mean and the variance of XX is

Options

  1. A10516\dfrac{105}{16}
  2. B7736\dfrac{77}{36}
  3. C3136\dfrac{31}{36}
  4. D3536\dfrac{35}{36}

Correct answer

B. 7736\dfrac{77}{36}

Step-by-step solution

Let probability of success is pandfailureisp and failure isq<br/>Given<br />Givenn = 7,</p><p>also,,</p><p>also ,P\left(X = 3\right) = 5P\left(X = 4\right) ⇒ C3 7 {p}^{3}{q}^{4} = 5 \cdot C4 7 {p}^{4}{q}^{3}</p><p></p><p>⇒ q = 5p . . . \left(i\right)</p><p>Weknowthat</p><p>We know thatp + q = 1 ⇒ 6p = 1(from(i)(from \left(i\right))

∴p=16∴ p = \dfrac{1}{6} and q=56q = \dfrac{5}{6}

∴∴ Mean =np=7⋅16=76= np = 7 \cdot \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{7}{6}

and Variance =npq=7⋅16⋅56=3536= npq = 7 \cdot \dfrac{1}{6} \cdot \dfrac{5}{6} = \dfrac{35}{36}

∴∴ Sum of mean and variance =76+3536=7736= \dfrac{7}{6} + \dfrac{35}{36} = \dfrac{77}{36}
