\(60 \%\) members of a committee favour a certain proposal and \(40 \%\) members oppose the proposal.
A member is selected and let the random variable \(X=0\) if he opposes and \(X=1\) if he is in favour.
Then the variance of the random variable \(X\) is

  1. A \(\frac{3}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{6}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{6}{25}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{6}{25}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(X=1) = p = 0.6\) \(Var(X) = p(1-p)\) \(Var(X) = 0.6(1-0.6) = 0.6 \times 0.4 = 0.24 = \frac{6}{25}\)
