Practicing Success
If in a binomial distribution $n=4, P(X=0)=\frac{16}{81},$ then P(X=4) equals |
$\frac{1}{16}$ $\frac{1}{81}$ $\frac{1}{27}$ $\frac{1}{8}$ |
$\frac{1}{81}$ |
We have, $n=4, P(X=0)=\frac{16}{81}$ Let p be the probability of success and q that of failure in a trial. Then, $ P(X=0)=\frac{16}{81}$ $⇒ {^4C}_0p^0q^4=\frac{16}{81}$ $⇒q^4=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^4 ⇒q= \frac{2}{3}⇒ p = \frac{1}{3}$ $∴ P(X=4)= {^4C}_4 p^4q^0=p^4 = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^4=\frac{1}{81}$ |
