Help me please!
A cruise ship has a 74% chance of having leftover rooms the week before the cruise. There are 25 cruise ships setting sail this month.
What is the mean and the standard deviation for this approximation?
----------
mean = np = 25*0.74 = 18.5
-------------
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(18.5*0.26] = 2.193..
-------------
