Question 387871: suppose that a student needs to buy 6 books for her clas. the number of books that she will be able to find used is a binomial random variable X with n = 6 and p = .30. In other words the probability that she will find any given book is .30, and is independent from one book to the next.
What is the probability that she will find exactly 2 books?
What is the variance for the number of used books she will find V(X)?

What is the probability that she will find exactly 2 books?
(6 choose 2)*(0.3)^2*(1-0.3)^(6-2) = 0.324135
What is the variance for the number of used books she will find V(X)?
variance is V(X)=np(1-p)
