उत्तर
12
\[p = \frac{1}{4}\]
\[ \therefore q = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}\]
\[\text{ Standard deviation }= 3 \]
\[ \Rightarrow\text{ Variance } = 3^2 = 9\]
\[\text{ Or npq } = 9\]
\[ \Rightarrow np = \frac{9}{q}\]
\[ = \frac{36}{3}\]
\[ = 12\]
\[\text{ Therefore, the mean of the given binomial distribution is 12 } .\]
