For a Binomial distribution, \(B(n, p)\), where \(p+q=1\), the sum and product of mean and variance are 8 and 12 respectively, when the value of \(n\) is :

  1. A 6
  2. B 9
  3. C 12
  4. D 16
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 9

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(np + npq = 8\) \(np(npq) = 12\) \(x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0 \implies (x-2)(x-6) = 0\) Possible values for (Mean, Variance) are (2, 6) or (6, 2). If \(\text{Mean} = 2, \text{Variance} = 6 \implies q = \frac{6}{2} = 3\), which is not possible. So, \(\text{Mean} = np = 6\) and…
