If the probability of two successes is 9 times the probability of 3 successes in 3 trials of a binomial distribution, then the probability of success in each trial is:

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{3}{4}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C(3,2)p^2(1-p)^1 = 9 \cdot C(3,3)p^3(1-p)^0\) \(3p^2(1-p) = 9p^3\) \(1-p = 3p\) \(1 = 4p\) \(p = \frac{1}{4}\)
