Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } P(x=2)=2 P(x=1) \\ & P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda} \cdot \lambda^x}{x !} \Rightarrow \frac{e^{-x} \cdot \lambda^2}{2 !}=2 \times \frac{e^{-x} \cdot \lambda^1}{1 !} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{\lambda}{2}=2 \Rightarrow \lambda=4 \\ & \because \quad \mu=n…
