A random variable X has p.m. f. \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=x)=\frac{{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_x}{2^4}, x=0,1,2,3,4\) and \(\mu\) and \(\sigma^2\) are mean and variance respectively of random variable \(X\), then

  1. A \(\mu=2, \quad \sigma^2=4\)
  2. B \(\mu=2, \quad \sigma^2=1\)
  3. C \(\mu=3, \quad \sigma^2=4\)
  4. D \(\mu=2, \quad \sigma^2=5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mu=2, \quad \sigma^2=1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given p.m.f. is of a Binomial Distribution \(B(n,p)\). \(P(X=x)=\frac{{ }^4 C_x}{2^4} = { }^4 C_x \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{4-x}\)
