Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & 9 P(X=4)=P(X=2) \\ & \Rightarrow 9{ }^n C_4 P^4 \cdot q^{n-4}={ }^n C_2 P^2 q^{n-2} \\ & \Rightarrow 9 \frac{{ }^n C_4}{{ }^n C_2}=\frac{q^2}{P^2}=\left(\frac{q}{1-q}\right)^2 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{q}{1-q}=3 \Rightarrow q=\frac{3}{4}\end{aligned}\)
