Question 1203151: About 4% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 600 people are randomly selected.
Find the standard deviation for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 600. Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
It is the binomial distribution with parameters n = 600 (the number of trials)
and p = 0.04 (the probability of success for an individual trial).
The standard deviation of this distribution is
SD = = = 4.8. ANSWER
