  1. A \(\frac{8}{9}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{9}{8}\)
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{9}{8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that \(n=6\) and \(\begin{aligned} & P(X=2)=9 P(X=4) \\ \Rightarrow \quad{ }^6 C_2 p^2 q^4 & =9 \cdot{ }^6 C_4 p^4 q^2 \end{aligned}\) \(\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad 9 p^2 & =q^2 \\ p & =\frac{1}{3} q \end{aligned}\) \(\because\) We know that \(p+q=1\)…
