Question
If in a binomial distribution mean is 5 and variance is 4, write the number of trials.

Answer

$\text{Mean}=5$ and $\text{Variance}=4$
$\Rightarrow\text{np}=5$ and $\text{npq}=4$
$\Rightarrow\text{q}=0.8$
$\Rightarrow\text{p}=1-\text{q}=0.2$
$\&\text{ np}=\text{n}(0.2)=5$ (given)
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=\frac{5}{0.2}=25$
