If a binomial distribution has a Mean of 4 and a Variance of 2, the number of trials n is:
- A. 4
- B. 8
- C. 6
- D. 10
Answer: B) 8
Explanation: Mean = np = 4. Variance = npq = 2. Dividing them: (npq)/(np) = 2/4, so q = 1/2. Since p = 1−q, p = 1/2. Substituting into np = 4 gives n(1/2) = 4, so n = 8.
