Two dice are thrown simultaneously. If X denotes the number of sixes, then the variance of X is:

  1. A \(\frac{5}{18}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{18}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{5}{18}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( p = \frac{1}{6}, n = 2 \) \( Var(X) = n p (1-p) \) \( Var(X) = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{6} \cdot (1 - \frac{1}{6}) = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{6} \cdot \frac{5}{6} = \frac{10}{36} = \frac{5}{18} \)
