Binomial Problem with n = 4 and p = 0.1
------
1) what is the probability that exactly 1 television will be defective?
P(x=1) = 4C1(0.1)*(0.9)^3 = 0.2916
-------------------------------
2) what is the mean of this distribution?
u = np = 4*0.1 = 0.4
-------------------------------
3) what is the standard deviation of this distribution?
std = sqrt[npq] = sqrt[0.4*0.9] = 0.6
