Let \(X\) be a random variable having binomial distribution \(B (7, p )\). If \(P ( X =3)=5 P ( X =4)\), then the sum of the mean and the variance of \(X\) is

  1. A \(\frac{105}{16}\)
  2. B \(\frac{77}{36}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{16}\)
  4. D \(\frac{49}{16}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{77}{36}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B (7, p)\) \(n =7 \quad p = p\) given \(P(x=3)=5 P(x=4)\) \({ }^{7} C_{3} \times p^{3}(1-p)^{4}=5^{7} C_{4} p^{4}(1-p)^{3}\) \(\frac{{ }^{7} C_{3}}{5 \times{ }^{7} C_{4}}=\frac{p}{1-p}\) \(1- p =5 p\) \(6 p =1\) \(p=\frac{1}{6} \Rightarrow q=\frac{5}{6}\) \(n =7\) Mean…
