A university has 10,000 students of which 6000 are male and 4000 are female. If a class of 30 students is chosen at random from the university population, find the mean and variance of the number of male students.
----
Proportion of males = 0.6
----
Mean of males = np = 0.6*6000 = 3600
----
variance of males = sqrt[npq] = sqrt[3600*0.4] = sqrt(1440) = 37.95
