If the mean and variance of a binomial variable \(X\) are 2 and 1 respectively, then \(P(X \geq 1)\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{15}{16}\)
  3. C \(\frac{7}{8}\)
  4. D \(\frac{4}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{15}{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mean \(\Rightarrow n p=2\) and variance \(\Rightarrow n p q=1\) then \(q=\frac{1}{2}, p=\frac{1}{2}\) and \(n=4 \quad(\because p=1-q)\) \(\therefore\) Required probability \(=P(X \geq 1)=1-P(X < 1)\) \(=1-\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)\) \(=\frac{15}{16}\)
