  1. A \(0.4,0.6\)
  2. B \(2.8,0.6\)
  3. C \(2.8,1.68\)
  4. D \(7,0.6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2.8,1.68\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We are given that \(x=7\) \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{p}=0.7, \mathrm{q}=1-0.4=0.6 \\ & \text { Now mean }=x \cdot \mathrm{p}=7 \times 0.4=2.8 \\ & \text { Variance }=x p q=2.8 \times 0.6=1.68\end{aligned}\)
