Let a die be rolled \(n\) times. Let the probability of getting odd numbers seven times be equal to the probability of getting odd numbers nine times. If the probability of getting even numbers twice is \(\frac{ k }{2^{15}}\), then \(k\) is equal to:

  1. A \(30\)
  2. B \(90\)
  3. C \(15\)
  4. D \(60\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(60\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P\) (odd number 7 times) \(= P\) (odd number 9 times) \({ }^{ n } C _7\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^7\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ n -7}={ }^{ n } C _9\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^9\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{ n -9}\) \({ }^{ n } C _7={ }^{ n } C _9\) \(\Rightarrow n =16\) Required…
