Question

In a binomial distribution, the probability of getting success is $\frac{1}{4}$ and standard deviation is 3. Then, its mean is:

  1. 6
  2. 8
  3. 12
  4. 10

Answer

  1. 12

Solution:

$\text{p}=\frac{1}{4},\sqrt{\text{npq}}=3$

$\Rightarrow\text{q}=\frac{3}{4},\text{npq}=9$

$\Rightarrow\text{Mean = np}=\frac{9}{\text{q}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{Mean}=9\times\frac{4}{3}=12$
