If a random variable \(X\) follows the Binomial distribution \(B(33, p)\) such that \(3 P(X=0)=P(X=1)\), then the variance of \(X\) is

  1. A \(\frac{11}{144}\)
  2. B \(\frac{35}{48}\)
  3. C \(\frac{121}{48}\)
  4. D \(\frac{33}{144}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{121}{48}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(X=0) = \binom{33}{0}p^0(1-p)^{33} = (1-p)^{33}\) \(P(X=1) = \binom{33}{1}p^1(1-p)^{32} = 33p(1-p)^{32}\)
