The mean, median and mode for binomial distribution will be equal when:______________?
Correct answer: A. p= 0.5
- A. p= 0.5
- B. P 0.5
- C. p = 1
- D. None of these
Explanation
When p = 0.5, the binomial distribution is symmetric, so its mean and median coincide, and in the usual textbook treatment the mode is also taken at the centre. Thus, the intended answer is p = 0.5.
