n=128​,

p=0.27
The​ mean is ______


. ​(Round to the nearest tenth as​ needed.)
The​ variance,

σ^2 is ______
​(Round to the nearest tenth as​ needed.)

The standard​ deviation, ______

Respuesta :

A binomial distribution is an experiment where there are two outcomes; Success and failure. In here, you are given n = 128 and p = 0.27. The formula for the variance of a binomial distribution is n*p(1 – p) or n*p*q*. They are equivalent because q = 1- p. We will use the first equation.

 

Variance = n*p*(1 – p)

Variance = 128*0.27*(1 – 0.27)

Variance = 25.23

 

To get the standard deviation, find the square root of the variance.

Standard deviation = sqrt (Variance)

Standard deviation = sqrt (25.23)

Standard deviation = 5.02
