The mean and variance of a random variable X having a binomial distribution are `4 and 2` respectively. The `P(X=1)` isA. `1//4`B. `1//32`C. `1//16`D. `1//8`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Let n and p be the parameters of the binomial distribution.
We have,
Mean `=4` and Variance `=2`
`rArr np=4 and npq=2`
`rArr p=1//2 =q and n=8`
`therefore` Required Probability `=P(X-1)=.^8C_(1)((1)/(2))^1((1)/(2))^7=(1)/(32)`
