MCQ
If $X$ follows a binomial distribution with parameter $\text{n}=8$ and $\text{p}=\frac{1}{2},$ then $\text{P(|X}-4|\leq2)$ equals:
  • A
    $\frac{118}{128}$
  • $\frac{119}{128}$
  • C
    $\frac{117}{128}$
  • D
    $\text{None of these}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{119}{128}$
$\text{n = 8,}\text{p}=\frac{1}{2}=\text{q}$
$\text{P(|X}-4|)\leq2$
$\Rightarrow-2\leq\text{x}-4\leq2$
$\Rightarrow4-2\leq\text{x}\leq2+4$
$\Rightarrow2\leq\text{x}\leq6$
$\text{P}(2\leq\text{x}\leq6)=\text{P(2)+P(3)+P(4)+P(5)+P(6)}$
$\text{P(2}\leq\text{x}\leq6)=\text{ }^8\text{C}_2\Big(\frac{1}{2^8}\Big)+\text{ }^8\text{C}_3\Big(\frac{1}{2^8}\Big)$
$+\text{ }^8\text{C}_4\Big(\frac{1}{2^8}\Big)\text{ }^8\text{C}_5\Big(\frac{1}{2^8}\Big)+\text{ }^8\text{C}_6\Big(\frac{1}{2^8}\Big)$
$=\frac{119}{128}$
