The variance of the Binomial Distribution \(B\left(5, \frac{1}{4}\right)\) is:

  1. A \(\frac{4}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{15}{16}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{15}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n = 5, p = \frac{1}{4}\) \(Var(X) = n \cdot p \cdot (1-p)\) \(Var(X) = 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot (1 - \frac{1}{4})\) \(Var(X) = 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{3}{4}\) \(Var(X) = \frac{15}{16}\)
