Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{2^8}{3^7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given Mean = np = 6 … (i) Variance = npq = 2 where q = 1 − p … (ii) \(\Rightarrow 6 q=2 \quad\) \{using Eq. (i) in Eq. (ii) \(\}\) \(\begin{aligned} q & =1 / 3 \\ \Rightarrow p & =1-1 / 3=2 / 3\end{aligned}\) From Eq. (i), we get…
