If the sum and the product of mean and variance of a binomial distribution are \(24\) and \(128\) respectively, then the probability of one or two successes is.

  1. A \(\frac{33}{2^{32}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{33}{2^{29}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{33}{2^{28}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{33}{2^{27}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{33}{2^{28}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(np + npq =24\) \(np \cdot npq =128\) Solving \((1)\) and \((2)\): We get \(p =\frac{1}{2}, q =\frac{1}{2}, n =32\). Now, \(P ( X =1)+ P ( X =2)\) \(={ }^{32} C _{1} pq ^{31}+{ }^{32} C _{2} p ^{2} q ^{30}\) \(=\frac{33}{2^{28}}\)
