(a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of high school graduates in groups of 1260 Americans over the age of 25.
Mean =
Standard deviation =
Is that county result of 1035 unusually high, or low, or neither?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Census Bureau reports that 82% of Americans over the age of 25 are high school graduates.
----------------------------------------
A survey of randomly selected residents of certain county included 1260 who were over the age of 25, and 1035 of them were high school graduates.
--------------------------------------------------
(a) Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of high school graduates in groups of 1260 Americans over the age of 25.
Mean = np = 1260*0.82 = 1033.2
----------------------------------------
Standard deviation = sqrt[npq] = sqrt(1260*0.82*0.18) = 13.64
----------------------------------------
Is that county result of 1035 unusually high, or low, or neither?
Neither
