Solution

In a binomial distribution, the expected value E(x) is equal to np and the variance V(x) is equal to npq, where n is the number of trials, p is the probability of success, and q is the probability of failure (1-p).

Given E(x) = 2 and V(x) = 4/3, we can set up the following equations:

np = 2 npq = 4/3

We can solve the first equation for p:

p = 2/n

Substitute p into the second equation:

n(2/n)q = 4/3 2q = 4/3 q = 2/3

Substitute q back into the first equation:

n(2/n)(2/3) = 2 2(2/3) = 2 n = 3

So, the value of n is 3, which corresponds to option (a).
