If a random variable follows binomial distribution with mean 5 and variance 4 , and , then what is the value of ?
Options
- A3
- B5
- C23
- D25
Correct answer
C. 23
Step-by-step solution
Now, $\quad p=1-q=1-\frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\begin{aligned}
\because & n p & =5 \\
\Rightarrow & n & =25
\end{aligned}$
Now, $5^{23} \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=3)=5^{23}\left[n c^3 p^3 q^{n-3}\right]\begin{aligned}
& =5^{23}\left[{ }^{25} \mathrm{C}_3\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^3\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{22}\right] \\
& =5^{23}\left[\frac{25 \times 24 \times 23}{6} \times \frac{1}{5^3} \times \frac{4^{22}}{5^{22}}\right] \\
& =4 \times 23 \times 4^{22}
\end{aligned}$
From (i) and (ii)
