Question 930582: Suppose that the probability of parents having a child with blond hair is 1/4. If there are 6 children in the family, what is the probability that half of them will have blond hair? What is expected value, or mean, and standard deviation for this distribution?

p(blond) = .25, n = 6
...
P(x = 3) = binompdf(6, .25, 3) = .1318 0r 13.18%
......
mean = .25(6) = 1.5
sd = sqrt(.25*.75*6) = 1.0607
