Correct Answer - B We have, P ( | X − 4 | ≤ 2 ) = P ( − 2 ≤ X − 4 ≤ 2 ) = P ( 2 ≤ X ≤ 6 ) P = P ( X = 2 ) + P ( X = 3 ) + P ( X = 4 ) + P ( X = 5 ) + P ( X = 6 ) = = . 8 C 2 ( 1 2 ) 8 = + . 8 C 3 ( 1 2 ) 8 + . 8 C 4 ( 1 2 ) 8 + . 8 C 5 ( 1 2 ) 8 + . 8 C 6 ( 1 2 ) 8 = 1 2 8 { 28 + 56 + 70 + 56 + 28 } = 238 2 8 = 119 128 1
