JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

A box contains \(15\) green and \(10\) yellow balls. lf \(10\)  balls are randomly drawn, one-by-one, with replacement, then the variance of the number of green balls drawn is :

  1. A \(\frac{6}{{25}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{{12}}{5}\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{{12}}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(2) We can apply binomial probability distribution We have \(n=10\) \(\mathrm{p}=\) Probability of drawing a green ball \(=\frac{15}{25}=\frac{3}{5}\) Also \(q=1-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{2}{5}\) Variance = npq \(=10 \times \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{12}{5}\)
