Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Letmean \(=\mathrm{np}=2\) and ......\((1)\) variance \(=\mathrm{npq}=1\) ......\((2)\) On solvingeqn \((1)\) and \(( 2)\), we get \(q=\frac{1}{2}\) and \(p=\frac{1}{2}\) Fromeqn \((1)\), we have \(n=4\)…
