(B) For a binomial distribution,the mean is given by $\mu = np = 4$ and the variance is $\sigma^2 = npq = (\sqrt{3})^2 = 3$. Dividing the variance by the mean,we get $\frac{npq}{np} = \frac{3}{4}$,which implies $q = \frac{3}{4}$. Since $p + q = 1$,we have $p = 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$. Substituting $p = \frac{1}{4}$ into $np = 4$,we get $n(\frac{1}{4}) = 4$,so $n = 16$. We need to find $P(X \geq 1)$. Using the complement rule,$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$. For a binomial distribution,$P(X = k) = {}^{n}C_{k} p^{k} q^{n-k}$. Thus,$P(X = 0) = {}^{16}C_{0} (\frac{1}{4})^{0} (\frac{3}{4})^{16} = 1 	imes 1 	imes (\frac{3}{4})^{16} = (\frac{3}{4})^{16}$. Therefore,$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - (\frac{3}{4})^{16}$.

The mean and standard deviation of a binomial variate $X$ are $4$ and $\sqrt{3}$ respectively. Then $P(X \geq 1)$ is equal to
