If the mean of a binomial distribution is 24 and its standard deviation is 4, then the probability of getting success is : |
$\frac{2}{3}$ $\frac{1}{5}$ $\frac{1}{6}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ |
$\frac{1}{3}$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{1}{3}$ In binomial distribution, the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) is, $μ=n×p$ [n = Number of trials] $σ=\sqrt{n×p×(1-p)}$ [p = probability of success] and, $np=24$ $σ=4$ $∴σ^2=np(1-p)$ $⇒16=24(1-p)$ $⇒p=1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$ |
