Algebra.Com's Answer #446219 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A coin has 30% chance to land on head if it is freely tossed. Let X be the number of heads on which it lands in 10 tosses. Find the mean and standard deviation of X. \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Binomial Problem with n = 10 and p(heads) = 0.6 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "mean = n*p = 10*0.6 = 6 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(6*0.4) = sqrt(2.4) = 1.5491 \n" ); document.write( "======================= \n" ); document.write( "Welcome Back. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "======================= \n" ); document.write( " |
