Solution

In a binomial distribution, the mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) are given by the formulas:

μ = np σ = sqrt(npq)

where: n = number of trials p = probability of success q = probability of failure (1-p)

Given that μ = 10 and σ = 2, we can use these formulas to find the value of q.

First, we can square the formula for the standard deviation to get rid of the square root:

σ^2 = npq

Substituting the given values:

4 = 10q

Solving for q gives:

q = 4/10 = 0.4

So, the answer is (d) 0.4.
