(D) Let $X \sim B(n, p)$.Given that the mean $np = 8$ and the variance $npq = 4$.Since $q = 1 - p$,we have $8q = 4$,which implies $q = \frac{1}{2}$ and $p = \frac{1}{2}$.Substituting $p = \frac{1}{2}$ into $np = 8$,we get $n = 16$.We need to find $P(X \leqslant 2) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2)$.Using the formula $P(X=r) = {}^{n}C_{r} p^{r} q^{n-r}$,we have:$P(X=0) = {}^{16}C_{0} (\frac{1}{2})^{0} (\frac{1}{2})^{16} = \frac{1}{2^{16}}$.$P(X=1) = {}^{16}C_{1} (\frac{1}{2})^{1} (\frac{1}{2})^{15} = \frac{16}{2^{16}}$.$P(X=2) = {}^{16}C_{2} (\frac{1}{2})^{2} (\frac{1}{2})^{14} = \frac{120}{2^{16}}$.Summing these probabilities: $P(X \leqslant 2) = \frac{1 + 16 + 120}{2^{16}} = \frac{137}{2^{16}}$.Comparing this with $\frac{k}{2^{16}}$,we get $k = 137$.

Let a random variable $X$ have a Binomial distribution with mean $8$ and variance $4$. If $P(X \leqslant 2) = \frac{k}{2^{16}}$,then $k$ is equal to:
