Question 1197159: The probability that a randomly selected patient who visits an emergency room (ER) will die within 1 year of the visit is 0.032.
A researcher obtains a random sample of 1000 recent ER visitors. It is safe to assume that the outcomes for each patient are independent of the other patients.

Calculate the standard deviation for the number of deaths in the next year amongst the 1000 patients in the sample. Round your answer to two decimal places.
