The mean and standard deviation of a binomial variate \(X\) are 4 and \(\sqrt{3}\) respectively. Then \(P(X \geq 1)\) is equal to

  1. A \(1-\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{16}\)
  2. B \(1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{16}\)
  3. C \(1-\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{16}\)
  4. D \(1-\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{16}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mean \(=n p=4\), variance \(=n q p=3\) On solving, we get \(q=\frac{3}{4}, n=16, p=\frac{1}{4}\) Now, \(\begin{aligned} p(X \geq 1) & =1-p(X=0)=1-{ }^n C_0 p^0 q^{n-0} \\ & =1-\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{16}\end{aligned}\)
