Let a random variable X have a Binomial distribution with mean 8 and variance 4 , If P(X 2)= k 2¹⁶ then k is equal to
Options
- A121
- B17
- C137
- D1
Correct answer
C. 137
Step-by-step solution
aligned & n p=8, n p q=4 & q= 1 2 , p= 1 2 and n=16 aligned Now P(x 2)=n_ C₀ p^0 q^n+n_ C₁ p^1 q^ n-1 +n_ C₂ p^2 q^ n-2 aligned & = ¹⁶ C₀+ ¹⁶ C₁+ ¹⁶ C₂ ( 1 2 )¹⁶ & = 137 2¹⁶ & k=137 aligned
