Finding Mean and Standard Deviation:
Let the random variable X represent the number of girls in a family of four children. Construct a table describing the probability distribution, them find the mean and standard deviation.
---------------------------------
0 girls: 1/16
1 girl : 4/16
2 girls: 6/16
3 girls: 4/16
4 girls: 1/16
--------------------------
mean = np = 4*(1/2) = 2
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(4(1/2)(1/2)) = 1
-------------------------------------------
Cheers,
