A discrete random variable \(X\) has the distribution \(B(15, p)\). Given that \(\operatorname{Var}(X)=3.15\). Then, the two possible values of \(p\) are

  1. A 0,1
  2. B \(0.1,0.9\)
  3. C \(0.4,0.6\)
  4. D \(0.3,0.7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.3,0.7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Here, } n=15, q=1-p \\ & \operatorname{Var}(X)=315 ; n p q=315 \\ & \quad 15 \times p(1-p)=315 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad p-p^2=0.21 \Rightarrow p^2-p+0.21=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad p^2-0.7 p-0.3 p+0.21=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad p(p-0.7)-0.3(p-0.7)=0 \\ &…
