Detailed Solution

P(X=r) will be maximum when r is the mode. 

 If (n+1)p is not an integer there exists unique modal value and it's the integral part of (n+1)p. 

The given Binomial distribution has parameters, n=100 and p=1/3.  

We have (n+1)p=(100+1)13=1013​=33.67, which is not an integer. 

Hence, the unique mode is 33, which is the integral part of (n+1)p.

Therefore, P(X=r) will be maximum when r=33
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Given n=100, P=12  q=1-=12

In Binomial distribution

P(X=r)=cr  n pr qn-r              =cr  100 12r 12100-r

We know that cr  n is maximum at r=n2

 cr  100 is maximum at r=1002=50

 P(X=r) is maximum when r=50
