Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{81}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \(\mathrm{n}=4\) and \(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}=0)=\frac{16}{81}\)
\(\begin{aligned}& \therefore \frac{16}{81}={ }^4 \mathrm{C}_0(\mathrm{p})^4(\mathrm{q})^0 \\& \therefore \frac{16}{81}=(\mathrm{p})^4 \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}=\frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=\frac{1}{3} \\& \therefore \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}=4)={ }^4 \mathrm{C}_4(\mathrm{p})^0(\mathrm{q})^4=(1)(1)\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^4=\frac{1}{81}\end{aligned}\)
