Question 11 Mark
State the relation between mean and variance of binomial distribution.
Answer

In binomial distribution value of mean is always greater than its variance.
Hence, $np > npq$ OR $npq < np.$

Question 21 Mark
State the relation between the probability of success and failure in Bernoulli trials.
Answer
In Bernoulli trials success and failure are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events. Therefore $p + q = 1$ and $q = 1 - p.$

Question 31 Mark
The parameters of a binomial distribution are $10$ and Calculate its variance.
Answer
$
\begin{aligned}
& n=10, p=\frac{2}{5} \\
& \therefore q=1-p=1-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3}{5} \\
& \text { Variance }=n p q \\
& =10 \times \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{5}=\frac{12}{5}
\end{aligned}
$
Hence, the variance obtained is $\frac{12}{5}$.

Question 41 Mark
Mean of a symmetrical binomial distribution is $7.$ Find the value of its parameter $n.$
Answer
Here, it is given that binomial distribution is symmetrical.
$\therefore p=q=\frac{1}{2}$
$ \text { Mean }=n p=7 \text { (Putting } p=\frac{1}{2} \text { ) }$
$ \therefore \mathrm{n} \times \frac{1}{2}=7$
$ \therefore \mathrm{n}=14$
Hence, the value of parameter $n$ obtained is $14 .$

Question 51 Mark
State the formula to find variance of discrete variable.
Answer
The formula to find the variance of discrete variable is as follows :

Question 61 Mark
State the formula to find Mean of discrete variable.
Answer
Formula to find Mean of discrete variable is as follows :
Mean $= \mu = E(X) =\sum \mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}} \mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{i}}\right)$
This value is also called expected value of discrete variable $X$

Question 71 Mark
Define discrete probability distribution.
Answer

Suppose, probability of a discrete random variable $X$ is $p\left[X=x_i\right]=p\left(x_i\right)$. If for $i=1,2,3$, $n ; p\left(x_i\right)>0$ and $\sum_{i=1}^n p\left(x_i\right)=1$,
then set of real values $\left\{p\left(x_1\right), p\left(x_2\right), \ldots \ldots ., p\left(x_n\right)\right\}$ is called probability distribution of a discrete random variable $X$. In tabular form it is written as under:
$\begin{array}{c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c}
\mathrm{X}=x_i & x_1 & x_2 & x_3 & \cdots \cdots \cdots \cdot & x_{n-1} & x_n & \text { Total} \\
\hline p\left(x_i\right) & p\left(x_1\right) & p\left(x_2\right) & p\left(x_3\right) & \cdots \cdots \cdots \cdot & p\left(x_{n-1}\right) & p\left(x_n\right) & \sum_i^n p\left(x_i\right)=1
\end{array}$
Here, $0 < p (x_i) < 1$ and $i = 1, 2, 3, …, n$

Question 91 Mark
The probability of failure in a binomial distribution is $0.6$ and the number of trials in it is $5.$ Find the probability of success.
Answer
The relation between mean and variance of binomial distribution is $p + q = 1.$
Hence, $p + 0.6 = 1$
$\therefore p = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4$
The probability of success is $0.4.$
