  4. D 116
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1116

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, mean np=2 ...(i) And variance npq=1 ...(ii) From Eqs.(i) and (ii), we get q=12 ∴ p=1-q=12 From Eq.(i), n×12=2 ∴  n=4 The binomial distribution is 12+124 Now, PX>1=PX=2+PX=3+P(X=4) = 4C2122122+4C3123121+4C4124 =6+4+116 =1116
