In a meeting,$60 \%$ of the members favour and $40 \%$ oppose a certain proposal. $A$ member is selected at random. We define a random variable $X$ such that $X=0$ if the member opposes the proposal and $X=1$ if the member is in favour. Then,$\text{Var}(X) = $

  • A
    $0.36$
  • B
    $0.24$
  • C
    $0.6$
  • D
    $0.06$
