Find the variance of the binomial distribution.
Find the standard deviation of the binomial distribution.
Interpret the results in the context of the real-life situation.
Most samples of 6 adults would differ from the mean by no more than ______

Mean=np=6*0.77=4.62
variance is np(1-p)=4.62*0.23=1.0626
sd is sqrt (V)=1.03
Most samples of 6 adults would differ from the mean by no more than 1 sd (that is most, about 2/3)
Nearly all would differ from the mean by no more than 2 sds .
The last question is somewhat ambiguous.
In a real-life situation, I would expect 4 or 5 of 6 to think it is a problem.
I would not expect 0, 1, or 2.
