MCQ
The random valuable $X$ follows binomial distribution $B (n, p)$ for which the difference of the mean and the variance is $1$. If $2 P(X=2)=3 P(X=1)$, then $n^2 P(X > 1)$ is equal to $......$.
  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $15$
  • $11$
  • D
    $16$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$11$
c
$n p-n p q=1$

$\Rightarrow np ^2=1$

$2^{ n } C _2 p ^2 q ^{ n-2 }=3^{ n } C _1 p q^{n-1}$

$\Rightarrow n p-p=3 q \quad(\therefore q=1-p)$

$\Rightarrow p =\frac{1}{2}$

Hence $n=4$

$P(x > 1)=1-(p(x=0)+p(x=1)$

$=1-\left({ }^4 C _0\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4+{ }^4 C_1\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^1\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\right)=\frac{11}{16}$
