Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{7}{64}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{np}=4, \mathrm{npq}=2\) \(\therefore \mathrm{q}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{p}=\frac{1}{2} \therefore \mathrm{n}=8\) \(\mathrm{p}(\mathrm{x}=2)={ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{8}=\frac{28}{256}=\frac{7}{64}\)
