If the mean and variance of binomial distribution are 2 and 1 respectively, then the probability of at least 1 success is: |
$\frac{3}{4}$ $\frac{2}{3}$ $\frac{7}{8}$ $\frac{15}{16}$ |
$\frac{15}{16}$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{15}{16}$ $\text{Mean} = np = 2,\;\; \text{Variance} = npq = 1$ $npq = 1 \Rightarrow 2q = 1 \Rightarrow q=\frac{1}{2},\;\; p=\frac{1}{2}$ $np=2 \Rightarrow n\cdot\frac{1}{2}=2 \Rightarrow n=4$ $P(\text{at least 1 success}) = 1 - P(0)$ $= 1 - (1-p)^n = 1 - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4$ $= 1 - \frac{1}{16} = \frac{15}{16}$ The probability is $\frac{15}{16}$. |
