Question 654511: In an industrial unit certain machines producing washers the probability of a item is 0.01. Calculate the mean and the standard deviation for the distribution of defective washers,when the total number is 500. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In an industrial unit certain machines producing washers the probability of a defective washer is 0.01. Calculate the mean and the standard deviation for the distribution of defective washers,when the total number is 500.
------
Binomial Distribution:
mean = np = 500*0.01 = 5
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(5*0.99) = 2.22
