If the mean and variance of a binomial variate X are 2 and 1 respectively, then the probability that X takes a value greater than 1 is:
  1. $\frac{2}{3}$
  2. $\frac{4}{5}$
  3. $\frac{7}{8}$
  4. $\frac{15}{16}$

Mark the correct alternative in the following question:
Suppose a random variable X follows the binomial distribution with parameters n and p, where 0 < p < 1. If $\frac{\text{P(X = r})}{\text{P(X = n} -\text{r})}$ is independent of n and r, then p equals:
  1. $\frac{1}{2}$
  2. $\frac{1}{3}$
  3. $\frac{1}{5}$
  4. $\frac{1}{7}$
