Options
- A5 36
- B25 36
- C25 54
- D25 216
Correct answer
D. 25 216
Step-by-step solution
Mean (n p)= 2 3 Variance (n p q)= 5 9 Variance (n p q) mean (n p) =q= 5 9 2 3 = 5 6 p=1-q=1- 5 6 = 1 6 Here number of trial n 1 6 = 2 3 Random Variable X=2 Probability = ^4 C ₂( P ) ⁴⁻² Q ^2= ^4 C₂ ( 1 6 )^2 ( 5 6 )^2= 25 216
