Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{8}{27}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a binomial variate x, From Eqs. \((i)\) and \((i i)\), we have \(q=\frac{2}{3}, p=\frac{1}{3}\) and \(n=4\) Now, \(P(X=2)={ }^4 C_2 p^2 q^2\) \[ =6\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2=\frac{24}{81}=\frac{8}{27} \]
