A random variable X has the probability distribution:
X: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
P(X): | 0.15 | 0.23 | 0.12 | 0.10 | 0.20 | 0.08 | 0.07 | 0.05 |

The mean and the variance of a binomial distribution are 4 and 2 respectively. Then the probability of 2 successes is
37/256
219/ 256
128/256
128/256
D.
128/256
Given that mean = 4
np = 4 and variance = 2
npq = 2 ⇒ 4q = 2
⇒ q = 1/2
∴ p = 1 - q = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2
also n = 8 Probability of 2 successes
If the straight line y = mx + c (m > 0) touches the parabola y2 = 8(x + 2), then the minimum value taken by c is

The equation of the plane which contains the line of intersection of the planes x + y + z – 6 = 0 and 2x + 3y + z + 5 = 0 and perpendicular to the xy plane is:
x – 2y + 11 = 0
x + 2y + 11 = 0
x + 2y – 11 = 0
x + 2y – 11 = 0
The curve y = (λ + 1)x2 + 2 intersects the curve y = λx + 3 in exactly one point, if λ equals -
