If a random variable \(X\) follows the Binomial distribution \(B(10, p)\) such that \(5 P(X=0)=P(X=1)\), then the value of \(\frac{P(X=5)}{P(X=6)}\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{6}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{5}\)
  3. C \(\frac{12}{5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{12}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(5 P(X=0) = P(X=1)\) \(5 \binom{10}{0} p^0 (1-p)^{10} = \binom{10}{1} p^1 (1-p)^9\)
