Formula

The probability distribution function o Binomial distribution is give asfollows

F(x) = ncxpxqn – x

The factorial moment = ncrpr!r

X = 0, 1, 2 ---n

p = Probability of success event

q = 1 – p = Probability of failure of event.

Calculation

According to the formula of factorial moment of binomial distribution

⇒ E[(X)r] =  5c3(0.4)3!3

⇒ [5!/(3!(5 – 3)!](0.4 × 0.4 × 0.4)!3

⇒ [5!/3! × 2!](0.064(3)

The value of E[(X)r] is 3.84
