If a random variable (x)(x) follows binomial distribution with mean 5 and variance 4 , and 523P(X=3)=λ4λ5{ }^{23} \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=3)=\lambda 4^\lambda, then what is the value of λ\lambda ?

Options

  1. A3
  2. B5
  3. C23
  4. D25

Correct answer

C. 23

Step-by-step solution

 Mean =5 and  variance =4523P(X=3)=λ4λ...(i)\begin{gathered}\text{ Mean }=5 \text{\text{ and } variance }=4 \\ 5^{23} \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=3)=\lambda 4^\lambda \qquad ...(i) \end{gathered}∵ Mean =5⇒np=5⇒ Variance =4⇒npq=4⇒5q=4⇒q=45\begin{aligned} \because & \text{ Mean } & =5 \\ \Rightarrow & n p & =5 \\ \Rightarrow & \text{ Variance } & =4 \\ \Rightarrow & n p q & =4 \\ \Rightarrow & 5 q & =4 \\ \Rightarrow & q & =\frac{4}{5} \end{aligned}Now, $\quad p=1-q=1-\frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}\begin{aligned} \because & n p & =5 \\ \Rightarrow & n & =25 \end{aligned}$ Now, $5^{23} \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=3)=5^{23}\left[n c^3 p^3 q^{n-3}\right]\begin{aligned} & =5^{23}\left[{ }^{25} \mathrm{C}_3\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^3\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{22}\right] \\ & =5^{23}\left[\frac{25 \times 24 \times 23}{6} \times \frac{1}{5^3} \times \frac{4^{22}}{5^{22}}\right] \\ & =4 \times 23 \times 4^{22} \end{aligned}$⇒523P(X=3)=23×422....(ii)\Rightarrow \quad 5^{23} \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=3)=23 \times 4^{22}\qquad ....(ii) From (i) and (ii) λ=23\lambda=23
