JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Probability Question Bank Binomial distribution

  • question_answer
    The mean and the variance of a binomial distribution are 4 and 2 respectively. Then the probability of 2 successes is [AIEEE 2004]

    A)             \[\frac{28}{256}\]            

    B)                 \[\frac{219}{256}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{128}{256}\]             

    D)                 \[\frac{37}{256}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\left. \begin{matrix}    np=4  \\    npq=2  \\ \end{matrix} \right\}\Rightarrow q=\frac{1}{2},\,p=\frac{1}{2},\,p=\frac{1}{2},n=8\]                 \[P(X=2)={{\,}^{8}}{{C}_{2}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{6}}=28.\frac{1}{{{2}^{8}}}=\frac{28}{256}\].
