If $X$ has a binomial distribution with mean $np$ and variance $npq$,then $\frac{P(X = k)}{P(X = k - 1)}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{n - k}{k - 1} \cdot \frac{p}{q}$
  • B
    $\frac{n - k + 1}{k} \cdot \frac{p}{q}$
  • C
    $\frac{n + 1}{k} \cdot \frac{q}{p}$
  • D
    $\frac{n - 1}{k + 1} \cdot \frac{q}{p}$
