JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 13. probability

Let in a Binomial distribution, consisting of \(5\) independent trials, probabilities of exactly \(1\) and \(2\) successes be \(0.4096\) and \(0.2048\) respectively. Then the probability of getting exactly \(3\) successes is equal to ....... .

  1. A \(\frac{32}{625}\)
  2. B \(\frac{80}{243}\)
  3. C \(\frac{40}{243}\)
  4. D \(\frac{128}{625}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{32}{625}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P ( X =1)={ }^{5} C _{1} \cdot p \cdot q ^{4}=0.4096\) \(P ( X =2)={ }^{5} C _{2} \cdot p ^{2} \cdot q ^{3}=0.2048\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{ q }{2 p }=2\) \(\Rightarrow q=4 p\) and \(p+q=1\) \(\Rightarrow p=\frac{1}{5}\) and \(q=\frac{4}{5}\) Now…
