Question

Find the binomial distribution whose mean is 5 and variance $\frac{10}{3}.$

✓

Answer

Let n and p be the parameters of binomial distribution.
Given, $\text{Mean = np}=5\dots(1)$
$\text{Variance = npq}=\frac{10}{3}\dots(2)$
Dividing (2) by (1)
$\frac{\text{npq}}{\text{np}}=\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{5}$
$\text{q}=\frac{2}{3}$
So, $\text{p}=1-\text{q}$ [Since p + q = 1]
$=1-\frac{2}{3}$
$\text{p}=\frac{1}{3}$
Put the value of p in equation (1),
$\text{np}=5$
$\text{n}=5\times3$
$\text{n}=15$
Hence, the binomial distribution is given by
$\text{P(X = r})=\text{ }^{\text{n}}\text{c}_{\text{r}}\text{p}^{\text{r}}\text{q}^{\text{n}-\text{r}}$
$\text{P(X = r})=\text{ }^{15}\text{c}_{\text{r}}\big(\frac{1}{3}\big)^{\text{r}}\big(\frac{2}{3}\big)^{15-\text{r}}$
$\text{r}=0,1,2,\dots15$

There are three coins. One is a two-headed coin (having head on both faces), another is a biased coin that comes up heads 75% of the times and third is also a biased coin that comes up tails 40% of the times. One of the three coins is chosen at random and tossed, and it shows heads. What is the probability that it was the two-headed coin?

A rubber company is engaged in producing three types of tyres A, B and C. Each type requires processing in two plants, Plant I and Plant II. The capacities of the two plants, in number of tyres per day, are as follows:

Plant	A	B	C
I	50	100	100
II	60	60	200

The monthly demand for tyre A, B and C is 2500, 3000 and 7000 respectively. If plant I costs Rs. 2500 per day, and plant II costs Rs. 3500 per day to operate, how many days should each be run per month to minimize cost while meeting the demand? Formulate the problem as LPP.
