Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(56\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given variable \(X\) takes values \(x_r = r(r-1)\) with frequencies \(f_r = {}^{n}C_{r}\) for \(r = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, n\). The mean of the data is given by \(\bar{X} = \dfrac{\sum_{r=0}^{n} f_r x_r}{\sum_{r=0}^{n} f_r}\). We know that…
