A coin is biased so that head is 4 times as likely to occur as tails. If X represents the number of heads when coin is tossed 4 times then \(P(X=2)\) is equal to:

  1. A \(\frac{96}{625}\)
  2. B \(\frac{9}{256}\)
  3. C \(\frac{ 2 7 }{ 6 2 5 }\)
  4. D \(\frac{ 1 8 }{ 6 2 5 }\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{96}{625}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(H) = 4P(T)\) \(P(H) + P(T) = 1 \Rightarrow 4P(T) + P(T) = 1 \Rightarrow 5P(T) = 1 \Rightarrow P(T) = \frac{1}{5}\) \(P(H) = 1 - P(T) = 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}\) \(P(X=k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k (1-p)^{n-k}\)…
