Question 627092: if 1% of all calculators are defective, find the mean, variance and standard deviation of a lot of 500 calculators.
this site NEVER helps me. i found a similar problem already posted but the answer solution makes NO SENSE to me since they do not show or explain any of the steps. i think this site should be taken down unless people give detailed answers because seeing a bunch of fdjsigadfh equations is not helping me at all for statistics... with that said, any help is appreciated. heh

Mean:
mu = np
mu = 500*0.01
mu = 5
So the mean is 5
-------------------------------------------------------
Variance:
sigma^2 = np*(1-p)
sigma^2 = 500*0.01*(1-0.01)
sigma^2 = 4.95
So the variance is 4.95
-------------------------------------------------------
Standard Deviation:
sigma = sqrt(np*(1-p))
sigma = sqrt(500*0.01*(1-0.01))
sigma = 2.2248595
So the variance is roughly 2.2248595
Note: the standard deviation is the square root of the variance.
